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:

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.

[http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES](http://nginx.org/en/CHANGES)  
Changes with nginx 1.1.6  
\*) Bugfix: the module ngx\_http\_mp4\_module did not support seeking on  
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:
