Stream audio track to amplitude with GridFSBucket

[Shaiwal]

• I read the docs
• I searched for existing GitHub issues

I am trying to stream audio content via NodeJS and MongoDB(GridFS) with amplitude for audio player and I also face similar Problem for chrome and safari while trying to attempt timing scrubbing everytime the Amplitude.setSongPlayedPercentage gets called the player resets and starts from 0. Can you help with this?

@Shaiwal Is your server set up to partially stream? What this means is you need to return byte range headers: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Range_requests. If these aren't returned, then the Amplitude won't scrub the song correctly. You can check the header on the network request it should say "Accept-Ranges: Bytes". See attached.

Thanks @danpastori for replying back, so yes we are streaming but the stream ends, I am using GridFSBucket with node js, something like this , can you please help, I am facing issue while sending the header, even though I tried with header still no luck, the track resets to 00:00.

@Shaiwal Do you have an example for this? I still believe it has something to do with the byte headers or it could be with CORS which can block that as well. You would have to do origin * or whatever you need for your specific project. It can be a real challenge. If you have a public facing URL I can help out.
