<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm assuming you are using X-SendFile to send the file? <br>
<br>
If so, you should be able to install the h264 module on
Nginx/Apache and the web server should take care of the pseudo
streaming<br>
<br>
Also, this kind of streaming works better when the file is
properly encoded[2]<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>

<div dir="ltr">I'm working on a project that displays HTML5 video

<div>Previously, I was using an expiring S3 URL; now I'm hosting
the video myself, attached via Paperclip. The uploads
directory is outside the /public directory of the Rails app;
there's a URL for the video that, when a user hits it, checks
if they're authorised to view it, and if so, uses send_file to
send it to them.</div>

<div>This no longer works very well now that I'm using send_file
- I <i>think</i> this comes down to the fact the browser
requests video with Range headers, getting it in chunks, and
my poor back-end clearly isn't doing something sophisticiated
enough.</div>

<div>* something like [<a moz-do-not-send="true"

which odes the chunking manually but is beginning to make me
feel stupid, and also feels fragile</div>
<div>* is Puma the issue, and would a better web server for
development work?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm asking because whilst I think I've found the right
track, some of you might have had experience of this before.</div>
