Like i said previously i do not use the MP4; module.
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_mp4_module.html

And besides that all videos are compiled for HTML5 streaming with the
following command line via ffmpeg. -movflags +faststart

So all metadata is at the start of the file all other mp4's are fine just
very large / very long mp4 files have this problem. webm ogg flv all fine
and fast regardless of size.
