Laravel Controller endpoint + file is shown as "live" and scrubbing not possible

[torbentschechne]

Hello all,

I have a file URL from an audio file that I pass into the vidstack Vue component. The file is stored on DigitalOcean and is routed through a Laravel controller. The controller looks like this:

class FileController
{
    public function __invoke(string $path): StreamedResponse
    {
        if (! Storage::exists($path)) {
            abort(404);
        }

        return response()->streamDownload(function () use ($path) {
            $stream = Storage::readStream($path);
            fpassthru($stream);
            fclose($stream);
        }, basename($path), [
            'Content-Type' => Storage::mimeType($path) ?? 'application/octet-stream',
            'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' => '*',
            'Access-Control-Allow-Methods' => 'GET, OPTIONS',
        ]);
    }
}

My vidstack component looks like this:

<media-player
    v-if="!hasError && src"
    :src="src"
    :autoplay
    :title
    :fullscreen-orientation="fullscreenOrientation"
    :loop
    :muted
    :view-type="viewType"
    @play-fail="(event: MediaPlayFailEvent) => setErrorMessage(event)"
    @error="(event: MediaErrorEvent) => setErrorMessage(event)"
    @play="(event: MediaPlayEvent) => emit('play', event)"
  >
    <ClientOnly>
      <media-provider>
        <media-poster
          class="vds-poster"
          src=""
        />
      </media-provider>
      <media-audio-layout v-if="viewType === 'audio'" />
      <media-video-layout v-else />
    </ClientOnly>
  </media-player>

Now I face two issues:

1. Sometimes the audio files are displayed as being "live", which is not the case.
2. Scrubbing is not possible; when I move the progress bar, the audio starts from the beginning again.

What is the issue here exactly? Is the response of my Laravel controller wrong? Or - as AI - suggests, need to implement a wild "range" header that streams the file from a specific byte? ;-)

Does someone have an idea? Would be great! Thanks!

It seems that I solved it by adding:

'Content-Length' => Storage::size($path),
'Accept-Ranges' => 'bytes',

to the streamDownload response.
