Bug #: 41304
Summary: Please set X-Content-Duration on OGG Video files
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: File management
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: fai...@wikimedia.org
CC: bawolff...@gmail.com, bryan.tongm...@gmail.com
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
According to:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Configuring_servers_for_Ogg_media
Firefox supports reading the X-Content-Duration header to get the length of an
Ogg video. This avoids doing a (potentially expensive, esp. with our current
infrastructure) Range request to the end of the file when start playing it. The
Mozilla documentation page explains the header, its values and the
circumstances around using it quite well, so I won't repeat it here.
Swift supports setting arbitrary headers, so we can set that on such videos. We
should do so for both new files and existing ones using a batch job.
Note that it appears that this a) does not work in Chrome b) is not needed for
WebM videos.
