General

What is the name of the domain?

https://edge-001.animeshqip.com

What is the issue you’re encountering

Safari can’t play large mp4 files

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I know this issue has been asked a thousand times, i read every post but found no solution. I did some research of my own comparing to another domain that works, my conclusions:

  1. Partial content range requests work perfectly fine
  2. All headers in the response are correct, status code for partial content is also correctly 206
  3. Safari tries to do a range request for the first 2 bytes, which works, but then it decides to give up and download the entire file, this obviously doesn’t work for large videos. For another domain it makes a series of range requests, not just one, and plays it as it gets loaded.
  4. I tried downgrading the connection to http2 using a proxy, tried making sure all headers are the exact same with the other domain by rewriting them manually, but nothing works, Safari just gives up, I feel like this issue is not http level

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
