Http_mp4_module broken in v1.0.8?

Server NGINX
1

Hello list,

the new mp4 module (–with-http_mp4_module) doesn’t work for me at all
in v1.0.8 (JWPlayer just stalls and keeps buffering after seeking), but
it works great with nginx v1.1.6. Same configuration, same mp4 file.

Please see the following HTTP HEAD on the MP4 file, first request
against nginx/1.0.8, second against nginx/1.1.6, please compare
Content-Length:

Cache-Control: max-age=10
Anyone with --with-http_mp4_module working in nginx/1.0.8?

The mp4 module in 1.1.6 has some bugfixes which aren’t yet merged
into 1.0.x. Likely you are facing one of this bugs, most likely the
problem with 32-bit platforms.

That was a hit. I applied changeset 4190 to v1.0.8, now everything works
fine and I can work with stable:

dev:~#curl -I “http://localhost/test.mp4?start=1170.00”
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
