Question

I Am trying to set a currentTime while streaming a audio src from a server. On every other browser this works fine, however on IE9 when i set currentTime and call play, it jumps back to the beginning.

this.playAtTime = function(aTime) {
    Debug("play at time audio: " + aTime);
    Debug("this.mAudioPlayer.currentTime: " + this.mAudioPlayer.currentTime);

     this.startTime = aTime;

    if (this.mAudioPlayer.src != this.mAudioSrc) {
        this.mAudioPlayer = new Audio();
        this.mAudioPlayer.src = this.mAudioSrc;
        this.mAudioPlayer.load();
        this.mAudioPlayer.play();
        this.mAudioPlayer.addEventListener('loadedmetadata', function(){ this.currentTime = aTime / 1000.0; }, false );
    }
    else if ((isChrome() || isMobileSafari()) && aTime == 0) {
        this.mAudioPlayer.load();
        this.mAudioPlayer.currentTime = aTime / 1000.0;
        this.mAudioPlayer.play();
        Debug("Reloading audio");
    }else{

        this.mAudioPlayer.currentTime = aTime / 1000.0;
        this.mAudioPlayer.play();
    }       
};

This isnt a issue of buffering because no matter how long it waits it wont succeed at setting time.

Answer 1

try exchanging the position of the below two line:

this.mAudioPlayer.play();
this.mAudioPlayer.currentTime = aTime / 1000.0;
