Fixed the C2065 compilation errors by correcting the malformed raw string literal syntax. The JavaScript keywords were being interpreted as C++ identifiers because the raw string delimiters were not properly formed. Fixed by ensuring each string chunk is properly terminated (e.g., Commit: 6eb8937 |

... Fixed the JavaScript loading issue that was preventing the browser player from working. The status was stuck at "Initializing browser player..." because the player.js file couldn't be loaded due to working directory issues. I've embedded the JavaScript content directly in the HTTP server code, ensuring it loads reliably regardless of the application's working directory. The browser player should now properly load and show "Page loaded, ready to start" status before attempting to start MediaSource streaming. Commit: 6bdbb94 |

... Fixed the browser streaming connectivity issues that were causing "Fetch error: Failed to fetch" status. The changes include:
The browser player should now properly connect to the HTTP server and display more specific error messages if issues persist. The connectivity test will help identify if the problem is server availability or stream data issues. Commit: 1c13e57 |

... I've implemented comprehensive debugging and fixes for the browser streaming connectivity issue. The enhanced logging will help identify exactly where the connection is failing: Key improvements:
The new logging will show whether the issue is during server startup, client connection acceptance, or HTTP request/response handling. Please test the updated version and check the debug output to see the specific error details. Commit: f8c2383 |
… availability Co-authored-by: Zero3K <[email protected]>
... Fixed the browser streaming issue by implementing a buffer threshold system that ensures data is always available when the browser requests it. The server now accumulates at least 3 segments before marking the buffer as ready to serve, eliminating the "No data available (status 204)" errors. Enhanced debugging shows the exact buffer state and timing of segment buffering vs serving. Commit: bd46215 |




This PR fixes critical browser streaming issues where the HTTP server would start successfully but the browser couldn't stream video due to timing and buffer management problems.
Problem Analysis
The browser streaming feature was experiencing:
Root Cause & Solutions
1. Network Binding and Error Handling
Problem: Server binding issues and insufficient error reporting made debugging impossible.
Fix:
INADDR_ANYto127.0.0.1for localhost-only access2. Buffer Timing Issues
Problem: Browser requests were arriving before sufficient segments were buffered, causing consistent HTTP 204 responses.
Fix: Implemented intelligent buffer threshold system:
3. HTTP Response Format
Problem: Missing connection management headers could cause browser compatibility issues.
Fix: Added proper HTTP headers including
Connection: closeand CORS support for all responses.4. Enhanced Debugging
Problem: Limited visibility into buffer state and timing made troubleshooting impossible.
Fix: Added comprehensive logging:
5. Client-Side Improvements
Problem: JavaScript lacked sufficient error detail and proper retry timing.
Fix: Enhanced browser-side error handling with detailed logging and appropriate retry delays based on response status.
Technical Implementation
The key innovation is the buffer threshold system that ensures data availability:
Benefits
The enhanced buffer management resolves the core timing issue where browsers were requesting data before sufficient segments were available, enabling successful video streaming.
Fixes #139.
