lighttpd forum lighty > mp3 streaming module?

Hi all,

Is there a way to stream or to seek in a mp3 file, from a lighty server?
So you can make a flash mp3 player that seeks in very long mp3 files?

Maybe its possible to alter the flv streaming module?
Or to make a mp3 streaming module ,that works just like the flv 
streaming module?

See this discussion:

Would be great! :-D

Why not do what has been suggested and use size-based seeks instead of 
time-based seeks?

i'm not talking about time-based seeks. I know you can calculate the 
byte position (size based seeks) if you know the bitrate, filesize and 
duration.

But...as far as i know, you can't seek to a position in the mp3 file 
wich has not been downloaded yet (progressive download). Just like with 
flv files. Works only if you can tell the server to return the file from 
a specific byte position. Like the flv streaming module does.

In that case you don't know enough. ;)
HTTP does support range requests.

I have make a modify to mod_flv_streaming to support binary streaming, 
would you please to try it with /xspf_player_slim.swf?song_url=/some 
music.mp3?start=1043665 .

@ Rhinofly, thanks for your time :)!
but first I need to compile the module right?

hmm maybe a server side script could make a http request range and give 
it back to flash...

Great mod! Many thanx, this is really useful to us!
