When streaming OGG files, there are 2 issues we encounter in the MPA:
1. Long files don't stream entirely:
When streaming a long file, only a first portion of the file is streamed, e.g 30 sec instead of 4 mins. The player doesn't display the entire length but only the 30 sec, which hints that the client doesn't get the current infos about the file from the server. you can test with the attached file
stream it locally
move the file and stream it from the server
In both case the length of the streamed file is not the same
2. Stream cuts during playback:
When streaming an OGG file for the first time (file is not cached) , the playback sometimes stops. It looks like the player is trying to play chunks of the file that have not been downloaded yet. However when starting the playback again it then works fine. It could be an error that isn't related to not downloaded chunks of the file. If it does, maybe we should download a very small portion of the beginning of each file after the connection to S3 is establish in order to avoid this issue.

Those are only proposals to solve the issue.
