Description
Hi here I was wondering if you can help me out. There is reports the mp4 module is not functioning correctly therefore on startup and after seeking it will not send metadata until after a portable of the video has started. This is noticable across many different players, other people are starting to complain about slow playback times after seeking because of this problem. Should they be manually compiling to upgrade the software ? Is it a codec issue ?
These people are running 1.0 ubuntu package it seems.

Hi I think you were too quick to close this, this is the file I sent them being used its used in alot of the demos and works properly normally especially in lighttpd.

What is happening in flash, it is downloading part of all of the file before it gets metadata so of course it may seem like its a moov issue , is this server manipulating any of this at all ?

Again: the file in question has moov atom after mdat, and as a result players can't start playing it before it's fully loaded. And nginx doesn't do any processing of the files requested without start= argument, so you have to use qt-faststart before you'll be able to stream it. Some other mp4 pseudo-streaming modules do processing in all cases, but it's just a waste of server resources in a normal case of properly prepared files.

You are right, im so sorry. I will try and get this user a proper mp4 for testing he claims he's repositioned the moov atoms but its still doing it.
The video in question have moov atom at the end, you have to prepare it for streaming by moving moov atom in front of mdat. You may do so e.g. with qt-faststart (or even with nginx itself by using "start=0" request argument).
