VPP 206 Partial Content Requests

[davidmcdtew]

Hi I am attempting to allow seeking on my audio files using VPP and the S3 provider but we are receiving errors on the 206 request for partial content when scrubbing to a different audio position.

Any ideas on how we can resolve this issue?

Sorry but what does scrubbing to a different audio position mean?
We are now using mp3 files in the S3 bucket with no problems.

Scrubbing = sliding the seek bar to a different position of the audio track, the issue is with streaming audio as far as I know

[PhilA1]

This add on doesn't do the streaming, your browser will connect direct to your s3 bucket to stream

Im not sure, whenever I store the audio locally and dont use this lib the scrubbing works, when I use s3 and this library it doesnt. It will play just cannot seek

[PhilA1]

you've changed 2 variables in that test.
copy the s3 url from your umbraco web page.
open a different browser session, paste in the url and test streaming <-- this is all the page is doing anyway..

sorry for the delay in reply, was taken away from this project for a while,
I have entered the bucket url in the browser and I can indeed seek,
So the issue is when I use the VPP so that the media url is still relative but behind the scenes is loading the bucket url. It is only when a perform a seek using this relative url that it doest not jumpt to the correct point in the audio track.

this now only appears to be an issue on Chrome. works on IE Edge and Firefox
