Currently streaming just downloads the file from the start and starts playback as soon as it has enough data. This has the following problems:

  • seeking to the end of a podcast takes almost as long as downloading the podcast this makes resuming a long podcast (after having closed the app) very slow.
  • we waste the users data
  • we waste the users ram

To fix this:

  • make the http stream seekable.
  • implement a data structure for keeping already downloaded bits
  • keep downloading ahead slightly to prevent stuttering

possible pain points:

  • rodio needs the seekable object in its own thread however we do not want to put the download on that thread
  • how to communicate downloaded bits
