Problem to re play a streaming audio

Discussed in #514

Hello,
I am using Peaks to play audios stored on a remote server served by a NodeJS based streaming server. Everything works fine before the audio ends, when the audio ends and I play it again I can't go forward or back since it always sends it to the beginning. This behavior only occurs with streaming and not with local audio.

Thanks for your help.

Which streaming server / library are you using?

Hi Chris,

I am using :
const http = require('http');
...
...
const src = fs.createReadStream(fileName);
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type':'audio/wav','Access-Control-Allow-Origin': '*',
'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'OPTIONS, POST, GET'});
src.pipe(res);

The waveform is generated using "audiowaveform".

Node v18.16.0

Thanks.

Thanks. Seeking probably isn't working because the browser isn't caching all the audio, and it can only seek within time regions it has cached. For that to work, you can serve the audio as a static file, so the browser can request the time regions it wants to play (see https://github.com/bbc/peaks.js/blob/master/doc/faq.md).

Chris, I really appreciate your help.

This problem is not happening on Firefox, I will try some fix according to the reference you mentioned.

Thank you very much.
