lukaszweg commented 4 years ago

Hello, when I am using chrome and want to change seek or pause currently playing song, my player restarting it, This occurs only on Chrome. On Firefox for example everything working well. Somone had similar problem and know how to resolve it? I don't want to change html5 to false because I want to stream song, not wait for full dowloading :(

You're right. Demo player with html5: true is breaking after seeking or pausing player, Toggling html5: false, make seek and pause behave correctly on Chrome. idk what possible workaround for this problem

Nah, this is just http header issue. see here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37044064/html-audio-cant-set-currenttime#comment97935607_52520120 You need to set header "Accept-Ranges: bytes" on the audio file. Chrome seems more sensitive about this compare to firefox for assigning the audio.currentTime
