Hi all We are currently building a new platform and we have come across a problem. Our developers are trying to get videos playing automatically in the browser ( they have it working on mobile ). They are saying that they need the HTTP_RANGE value. How would we locate this or where can it be found? Thanks Steve

I'm not sure how that would relate to playing automatically but if it's because they're trying to load a particular part of the video ffmpeg and ffmpeg-php is what generally accomplishes seeking without loading everything first. Here's a bit of http_range http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html it kind of depends what you're trying to accomplish but the ability to send and receive the info is nothing special, it's what you're trying to do with it that will have specific requirements.

Hi We do have ffmpeg installed but for some reason they are asking for the http_range which I find strange. I will ask them and update. Thanks Steve
