Azure Blob Storage video seek doesn't work.

Sooraj 15

Hi,

I have uploaded some videos to Azure blob storage and application reads those URL to play the video from the applicate. We noticed that it's not able to seek. We have tried fast forward and backward, but nothing happens.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

@Sooraj To better understand the issue: What happens when you try to play the video, Do you get any error message, If so please share the screen shot?

Which application are you using? How are you trying to play the video?

Can you elaborate bit more on your query? Additional information Upload and index your videos : https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/azure-docs/blob/main/articles/azure-video-indexer/upload-index-videos.md How to seek in videos stored on Azure Storage

I'm experiencing this same issue. I'm using a ReactPlayer with controls=true to display the video. It plays fine but it isn't able to seek forward or backward in the video. No errors are thrown. If Azure Media Player is being deprecated, how is this supposed to be done?

mp4 formatted videos will play in browser as I found. I copied the url from file's properties. However. MOV formatted files were not able to play. In that case, we need to convert the files as mp4
