I was on www.ranting-gryphon.com and when I clicked a rant I heard the first 4-5 seconds and then it stopped. Usually these are 2+ minutes long. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a website that you listen audio on 2. Left click the audio file you wish to listen to 3. Hear 4-5 seconds of audio, then it stops, unless you download the file and listen to it from your PC Actual Results: Steps above are the actual results. Expected Results: Played the entire audio clip instead of just the first 5 seconds.
Neither of these fix the issue.
Can you give a link to a site with the issue?
It's not exactly a song, more like a rant. Just a guy talking. http://ranting-gryphon.com/Rants/2rant-gas_prices.mp3
This works fine for me. I get the download dialog. Asks me what to do with the file. If I choose "Open with" it just starts Windows Media Player and plays the file.
Yes, you can do it that way, but I prefer to just click it, and then a QuickTime applet loads and it usually plays correctly.
(In reply to comment #6) > Yes, you can do it that way, but I prefer to just click it, and then a > QuickTime applet loads and it usually plays correctly. Do you actually have Apple's Quicktime installed or are you using something like QT Lite or Quicktime Alternative? If the former, try closing Firefox, uninstalling Quicktime from the Windows Control Panel, reinstall Quicktime, restart Firefox and see if that makes a difference. If you're using QT Lite or Quicktime Alternative, well, that may just be the problem itself, as those are notoriously buggy and they are slow to update to keep pace with regular Apple releases.
Yes, QuickTime is fully installed, as it came with iTunes
I just tested the link on a Windows XP SP3 box with Firefox 3.6 RC 1 and it plays in the browser with Quicktime for about 10 seconds (+/- as I didn't have a stopwatch). Stops playing after some guy talks about walking to Mcdonalds or something. But when I download it to the desktop, it is a 4 minute 26 second long clip. Very weird. That leads me to believe it MIGHT be a server side issue because the MP3s @ http://www.naive.ru/mp3/metallica/live/2006_03_18_centurion/ play for their full length and don't cut off after X seconds.
It's not just some guy, it's 2 the Ranting Gryphon, an alternative voice for alternative people. Also yea, that mp3 works for me, all of them. And the 2 clips play fine at my brothers house.
Well, none of the clips @ http://ranting-gryphon.com/Rants/ play longer than 8-12 seconds here unless I download them to the desktop. I just looked at the headers, and here is what I see. Everything looks normal unless someone else sees something that I don't: Server Response: http://ranting-gryphon.com/Rants/2rant-gas_prices.mp3 HTTP Status Code: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2010 01:53:03 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS) Last-Modified: Sun, 27 Nov 2005 15:18:41 GMT ETag: "7941e9-185ae8-80637640" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 1596136 Vary: Accept-Encoding,User-Agent Connection: close Content-Type: audio/mpeg Requested from another server, same file: HTTP/1.1 200 OK => Date => Sun, 17 Jan 2010 01:55:42 GMT Server => Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS) Last-Modified => Sun, 27 Nov 2005 15:18:41 GMT ETag => "7941e9-185ae8-80637640" Accept-Ranges => bytes Content-Length => 1596136 Vary => Accept-Encoding,User-Agent Connection => close Content-Type => audio/mpeg And from a 3rd location: Response Code: HTTP/1.1 200 Date: Sun, 17 Jan 2010 01:56:28 GMT Server: Apache/2.0.52 (CentOS) Connection: close Content-Type: audio/mpeg Vary: Accept-Encoding,User-Agent ETag: "7941e9-185ae8-80637640" Last-Modified: Sun, 27 Nov 2005 15:18:41 GMT Content-Length: 1596136 The content length is right.
Yea...this is odd.
Same behavior with Firefox 3.7a1pre and Windows 7 Pro x64 w/ latest Quicktime installed. I am going to move this to Core:Plugins on the off chance that something is broken in Firefox, but I'm leaning towards a server issue because I get a player in Chrome 4.0.295.0 but the MP3 won't play at all. IE 8 just wants to download it, so I can't test inside that browser.

Kay. I don't think it's the server itself, since I think it worked before. Anyway, hopefully it gets fixed.
