Expected Behavior

Hello,

I have registered a custom protocol with registerStreamProtocol in order to read offline audios and videos in my app. When I'm trying to "navigate" through the video I'm expecting to receive a range header in order to properly read the video stream with nodejs.

Actual Behavior

But I'm not receiving any range header in the request...

Here is an example of the issue :

Here is what I'm receiving in the request :

{
    method: 'GET',
    url: 'lls-encrypted-stream://pages/6070955/ANG.2de.16.ACT1.The.Queen.mp4',
    referrer: 'http://localhost:9080/',
    headers: {
      'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/93.0.4577.58 Electron/14.0.0 Safari/537.36',
      Range: 'bytes=0-',
      'Accept-Encoding': 'identity;q=1, *;q=0',
      Accept: '*/*'
    }
  }

=> lls-encrypted-stream:// is my custom protocol and you can see that the range is not properly set.

Last time it was working correctly was in electron 6.x

I have the same problem when I use registerBufferProtocol in Electron 11 version or later, I can't control my video.

@vbourgeois, could you provide a minimal reproduce case for this?

Also, are you registering lls-encrypted-stream as a privileged scheme with stream: true as one of the privileges?

[nathanbabcock]

Seems this is still an issue. Range headers don't work. BTW I am using both registerSchemesAsPriveleged and stream: true. Normal video loading works ok, but seeking the video does not.

Is there any workarounds for this or plans to fix? If there's bandwidth to look into it, I'm sure I could create a minimal reproduction in a repo.

@vbourgeois, could you provide a minimal reproduce case for this?

I don't have a lot of time to provide a reproduce case now. I'll try to do it in few days if I can.

Also, are you registering lls-encrypted-stream as a privileged scheme with stream: true as one of the privileges?

Yes and it didn't resolve the issue.

Is there any workarounds for this or plans to fix?

I'm using an express server to stream video & sound in Electron now.
