Back in Massachusetts (in the 70s) that was called "mushing", but I never saw anyone actually try it.

We used to have contests on who could hang on the longest, our street was about a 5 block stretch, some rode it the whole way. For me it was the late 70's when the streets were covered with snow for weeks on end (northern Illinois).

Here in Belgium they do not immediate close the roads but 10 cm of snow is enough to grind down the whole country to a halt, you guys being even less used to snow a mere 5 cm probably achieves the same.

We had a good load of snow here every day in the last two weeks. The result? I got to work faster beacause all who can't drive were too afraid to. And today, when we had sun and blue skies? All the incompetent are back and do their best to stand in everybody else's way.
To be honest, when I learned to drive, I was just as helpless. Then I took part in a driver training course and learned how to drive on snow and never had a problem ever since. In fact, I like driving on snow and try to refresh my skills and see how the car reacts on an empty parking lot at the first snow every winter. And have some fun with pirouettes and drifting to see how far my tires will let me go.

I used to ride motorcycles on snow. On ice. In blizzards (though visibility wasn't much fun).
Big motorcycles - 1100 v-twins, mostly.
It wasn't a problem (once I got the idea of electric heated gloves then heated handlebar grips anyway).
But when you watch a car try to overtake you and spin off into the weeds because you know you're on ice (because the tires have gone quiet) and he doesn't think about it you have to wonder where most people find their licences. Christmas crackers, I always assumed.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That's a bit of a cheeky crack, but If you're stoned, perhaps yes.

Is there any difference between
1. A media hosted on storage like Azure Blob store/S3
2. A media file hosted by services like SoundCloud or any other service.
Where you can fetch your media contents by APIs.
"Streaming" can be done with any of these file? like playing the media without downloading the whole file?
For features like move fwd/back on the buffer slider, the responsibility lies on the streaming client? Or server or both the ends?

Difference in what sense? For example there is no difference in terms of the file (content) and storage. But there may be big differences in how the content is served.

Correct. Just updated the question. Thank you

1. There is no 'without downloading' - you always download the file, but you may not store it, but process it immediately
2. Streaming - it can be a few different things. For instance the simplest HTTP request can return you a file stream - but if you want to add some 'start at', 'skip to' and other functionalities, you will need more than that... It probably means that a platform built for streaming in mind will better serve you...

Great! Thanks for the clarification.
So main question is, without the server helping us, just the client code can achieve the fast-fwd, rewind features & mainly without downloading the whole file?
I saw an Android doc that talks about file open type as "MEDIA_STREAM" & it did not talk about the server setup. It looked like it could stream a flat file from storage blobs.
So the confusion.
If I want to set up a streaming feature do I need to work both on client & server side?
Yet another thing in the mix is, I give a flat file URL from storage blobs or any server & Windows media player streams it. (Like without downloading the file & allow us to fast-fwd)
So a bit lost on this topic.

If you want to create your own streaming server/service, you obviously have to work on the server side (that's why it called server)... On the other end you need something that can talk to that server, so you need to work on the client side too...
There are lot of articles about it (and even some wannabe standard-like approaches), look for them and come back if you have any questions to solve (but go for the programming forums that time)...

Nowadays you don't need to use RTMP anymore to get streaming, the S3-native HTTP streaming is perfectly fine and enables streaming playback in a simpler way then RTMP. If you are only looking for audio streaming, just putting the files in S3 is sufficient. If you are looking for video you should consider using HLS or MPEG-DASH (again the files are just in S3). If you have many customers combine that with a CloudFront web distribution for better performance. Apart from the simplicity, this does not require proprietary libraries
There you go![^]

Partial methods. I'll let you do your own research, but I cannot identify a single case where the use of a partial method would be beneficial, desired, or warranted.

At first glance, it looks they are coming back to the hatred C/C++ header/source file mechanism.
