Videos served from file system thorugh local server are not seekable on android

[yelhouti]

When using the html5 video tag with a video sotored in the assets, seek is not possible.

Possible cause/fix:
Server does not support "partial content":
WebViewLocalServer:createWebResourceResponse uses WebViewLocalServer:PathHandler which always answers with 200 OK instead 206 PartialContent for videos. doing so would allow html5 video player to seek video and load in memory only the desired parts

I am also facing this issue, and it's stopping me from implementing trimming in an Ionic 4 application.

Update Ionic Info

Ionic:

   ionic (Ionic CLI)             : 4.5.0 (C:\Users\Toshik\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ionic)
   Ionic Framework               : @ionic/angular 4.0.0-beta.15
   @angular-devkit/build-angular : 0.11.0
   @angular-devkit/schematics    : 7.1.0
   @angular/cli                  : 7.1.0
   @ionic/angular-toolkit        : 1.2.0

Cordova:

   cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.1.2 (cordova-lib@8.1.1)
   Cordova Platforms     : android 6.4.0
   Cordova Plugins       : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.0.5, cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 2.3.0, (and 9 other plugins)

System:

   NodeJS : v10.13.0 (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe)
   npm    : 6.4.1
   OS     : Windows 10

Update 2 For anyone who stumbles over this an would like to seek the video, I solved it by loading the file as a blob.

  let localFileSrc = this.webview.convertFileSrc(localFilePath);
  fetch(localFileSrc)
    .then(res => res.blob())
    .then(res => {
      let seekableSrc = URL.createObjectURL(res);
    })
