Media streaming issues with Chrome

See original GitHub issue

Hey mate, I’ve been running into a couple issues with how Chrome handles media (audio/video):

Without the response header Content-Length, checking media.duration returns Infinity.
Without serving the requested chunk (Content-Range), changing media.currentTime just makes the file play from the beginning (as the whole file is returned).

In comparison, Firefox has neither issue.

I recall reading about this a long time ago, and found it weird how Chrome kept re-downloading the video assets with experiences that involve changing the currentTime, but I’m not sure how best to work streaming into Servor. Any ideas/thoughts?

Cheers.

Thanks 🙇 this will speed things up a lot but not 100% sure exactly when I will get around to implementing. Will leave this issue open in case anyone else wants to tackle it!
