I want to play a local video file from nancy embedded http server. It is OK to read a txt file but once it tries to open a video file it gives error :

"The specified network name is no longer available"

on the line 

return Response.AsStream(() => File.OpenRead(@"E:\test_videos\test.mp4"), "video/mp4");

I can play the video from my browser, so what is wrong then?

Update: I could play video on FireFox and IE, the error only occurs in chrome.

You probably need to set a static convention, and serve the files directly without passing them trough nancy.

I have implemented mp4handler for nancyfx and it worked.

Your backslashes are probably getting filtered out of existence, try replacing '\' with '\ \', (no space in there) otherwise looks ok to me

    He is using @"~..." so the '\' are ignored. – Austin T French Apr 13 '15 at 13:43

    The @ sign in @"E:\test_videos\test.mp4" ensures you don't need to escape - in this case - slashes anymore. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/556133/whats-the-in-front-of-a-string-in-c –  Apr 13 '15 at 13:43
  • yes, it is not about '\' since it is working on txt.files like => File.OpenRead(@"E:\test.txt") – kubilay Apr 14 '15 at 05:33
