Seeking in video.js player not possible in Chrome

Question

I ran into this problem a couple of times: Seeking through videos within the video.js player is possible in any browser except chrome. That means, clicking on the progress bar won't change the current position of the video.

Answer 1

In my case, the problem was the server delivering the video with the HTTP status Code OK (200). Instead, it should return Partial Content (206).

To check whether the server is the problem, embed the test video as in the online example on videojs.com, i.e. load the Disney video from http://video-js.zencoder.com/oceans-clip.mp4 instead of your own server.

Answer 2

In Chrome it is browser issue.

THe chrome browser buffering the video before we set the current time .. But firefox and IE are not buffering when page loads.

So we can set the currentTime(10).
