I am trying to embed a video from an Azure storage blob using the html5 video tag. When viewing the embedded video in Chrome the video seek doesn't work (issue only happens in Windows, works fine in OSX), but when viewing the resource directly, seeking works fine.

direct resource

embedded video in jsFiddle

In the jsFiddle, the embedded code is copied directly from the source html generated when viewing the resource directly.

<video controls="" autoplay="" name="media">
    <source src="http://apmmediastoragedev.blob.core.windows.net/media-vid/YfKPFgi39S5nV275.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>

  • Do you face the same problem in another browser? – Thiago Custodio Feb 26 '14 at 19:16
  • According to w3schools, in chrome should work fine: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_video.asp – Thiago Custodio Feb 26 '14 at 19:17
  • @ThiagoCustodio - FF, IE, and Safari all work fine. Opera has a similar issue where seek doesn't work when you first play the video, but if you refresh the page it does work. All the browsers I tested have html5 support and play the video fine, but the scrubbing/seeking just doesn't work in Chrome/Opera (Chrome only doesn't work in Windows, works fine when tested in OSX) – Hat Feb 26 '14 at 20:13

  • It looks like you're not using HTTP Byte Serving. See this answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21032796/seekbar-not-working-in-chrome/21037196#21037196 – brianchirls Feb 26 '14 at 22:44
  • Edge also has an issue with seek – Rkaufman Nov 25 '20 at 14:50
