Reverse proxy .mp4 wont play, need some input please. Was working.

[pir8radio 1292]

This just started recently, hoping someone can give me a hand finding the issue...   @@Luke     buddy pal...   at least point me in the right direction with the log file..    I only sent a small chunk of the log file but the issue is listed below..   So any time i try to play an MP4 though the reverse proxy it just sit there...      Directly to the server its fine...  Nginx is setup correctly...   hoping someone can see something in the log file that will get me in the right direction...  Please.....    its not ipv6 related, tried in v4 only, same issue..  so ignore that im on a ipv6 client in the log file.

 

Some additional info, this was working, don't know when it stopped working...  all other formats are fine, mp4 only.. 

 

EDIT: Removed old log

are we talking about the same issue?  Mine is mp4's only..    mp3, mkv, mpeg, avi, all play fine.

you're right, i have only this problem with Internet Explorer finally.

found the problem.  NGINX was not passing the range and If-range headers that emby was sending.  These headers are needed so that the client/server can keep track of what chunk of video is playing.

 

 

proxy_set_header Range $http_range;

proxy_set_header If-Range $http_if_range;

After many days cant figure out why this problem happens to my friend but only with MKV files, I found your answer on google and tried it and it works.

I just registered on this forum to say thank you very much for your information. Saved my friend life
