The better solution is to make the video player point at the Webdav endpoint, which supports http ranges

[binron]

The idea was to support range requests for shared files.
Not just for video players, also for downloading big files (resume download)

E.g.: https://example.com/owncloud/index.php/s/zfT7yQhtF9WSzI3/download

files.php will die in 9.0 and 8.2 is closed for new features.

Thanks a lot for your contributions - but I have to reject this - sorry

What does this mean for owncloud-archive/apps#1896, owncloud-archive/apps#1865 and owncloud-archive/apps#1935

Please note that in the future the Webdav endpoints will be used (#12353). There is also a Webdav endpoint already for public links. Webdav endpoints already support range requests.
