Can't stream mp3

[vandys]

Hi,

Server runs OK, supplies index.html and lists a directory. But pointing mplayer at a URL for an MP3 just hangs?

Honestly, this was written to support using the python webserver to serve yum repositories to anaconda-based installers. Are you trying to just load the MP3 at all, or are you trying to seek to specific time points? Does it work with the base HTTP server?

mplayer wants to GET the bits sequentially (i.e., streaming) and I was
looking for Range support so I can skip forward and back. Your server
can't even serve the initial contents (which requires no skipping). So
something basic seems wrong here.

Streaming works fine with SimpleHTTPServer, it just can't set position.
But if you play an MP3 file at a URL, it works great.

Thanks for writing back; you can reach me directly:
