1 year ago @kagemomiji I tested a few aspects.
... It wants the server to serve even if it has a cached song 😅
So I'm learning my lesson here, clients have different quirks.

1 year ago @yatli Thank you for your experiments.
I think that the reported bug is related to the client-side rather than the server-side(airsonic-advanced).
To minimize the seek latency, caching in client is a good solution, as demonstrated by the DSub experiment. If Sonixd properly manages the cache, there should be no need to transcode audio in airsonic-advanced.
Fortunately, ffmpeg supports seeking before encoding, so I can implement the /stream API to utilize this functionality. (There is offset query parameter, but for video https://opensubsonic.netlify.app/docs/endpoints/stream/) However, this cannot be achieved solely with a server-side implementation. Client-side implementation is also necessary since the server-side needs to know where in the audio to start, but Subsonic clients do not currently support such a request.

1 year ago Thanks for explaining this.
Expect: the transcoder can start from an offset within the track, "near" the seek destination, so that playback resumes quickly after seek
I took it for granted that airsonic already has this feature, but it turns out to be the over-engineered imagination in my head :)
What happened?
This one does not affect normal playback experience, but makes client-side seeking slow, since every time it needs to wait for the server to finish transcoding.
Steps to reproduce
Expect: the transcoder can start from an offset within the track, "near" the seek destination, so that playback resumes quickly after seek Actual: transcoder takes a long time to finish, blocking playback.
