html5 audio duration,ipad - HTML5 audio duration issue - Stack Overflow

Your server must enable Range requests. This is easy to check for by

seeing if your server's response includes the Accept-Ranges in its

header. Most HTML5 browsers enable seeking to new file positions

during a download, so the server must allow the new Range to be

requested.

Failure to accept byte Range requests will cause problems on some

HTML5 browsers. Often the duration cannot be read from the file as

some formats require that the start and end of the file is read to

know its duration. Chrome tends to be the browser that has most

problems if the Range request is not enabled on the server, but all

browsers will have some issue even if it is only that you have to wait

for all the media to load before jumping close to the end.
