I am creating a web page like Youtube, the upload works but when showing the page to see the downloaded video and wanting to go to a specific position using the progress bar of the video controls, it restarts from scratch again, unless it loads all the metadata and restart the page, I use django to create the page but also if I use a static page like this:

<body>
<video controls preload width="640" height="360">
      <source src="myvideo.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
    </video>
</body>

and then run the command :

python -m http.server 5000

it does not work for me either

I try changing the time using

video.currentTime = 14;

in javascript but it causes an error

  • you need to optimize video for streaming - position the MOOV atom at the start of the video (eg https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53537770/safari-videos-load-far-too-slowly/53547419#53547419), and have a server that supports byte range requests. – Offbeatmammal Sep 21 '20 at 01:44
  • It didn't work for me, and it also takes a long time if the file is very large and of high quality – Sam Amimundo Sep 21 '20 at 10:44
