Hi,

I used MediaElement.js to make an audio player to play MP3. But the seek bar does not work. Please check from http://www.4kidstory.com/node/183
How to fix it?

Title: The seek bar from MediaElement.js audio player does not work with iOS » The seek bar from MediaElement.js audio player does not work

Has anyone solved this issue, yet? I am also having an issue with the seek bar. The demo video in the admin section seems to work just fine. I am also having an issue with playback. Once the media player finishes, you cannot replay it by clicking the play button.

I've figured out the problem, but cannot locate a solution.

The private file module is preventing any media player from controlling the audio file.

Anyone have a solution to keep private files and permit full access to a media player?
Is that even possible?

I'm having the same issue as well. I was able to get the files outside the root folder but since I am using private file settings I am running into this issue. Perhaps if you wanted to store all your files outside the root folder, you could place the public files there as well and see if you have full access and still maintain security.

EDIT: I tried using public files but the system does just appends the URL (../file with generate www.site.com/..file). So that won't work. We will need a fix for the seek issue for private files.

I'm having a similar issue with files served through Amazon S3. Any solutions?

I was running into this issue with videojs and html5 video player - found a solution here: https://www.drupal.org/node/1706476

The Resumable Download Module
Drupal does not support download resume , meaning that downloading large private files can be troublesome because if for any reason the download fails , there is no way to continue downloading from where it stopped and the whole file should be downloaded again.

yes, the resumable download module fixed my issue.

for my case, the files were in the private file system. i'm under the impression this is a limitation with drupal core and the way it handles file downloads/streams so i'm closing this issue. the solution suggested by ydahi fixed it for me
