Streaming and seeking
Files play back at source quality — the provider never transcodes and serves the bytes as-is.
How streaming works
Section titled “How streaming works”Players never talk to Yandex directly: audio flows through Music Assistant’s own proxy route. For every playback the provider fetches a fresh pre-signed download link from the Disk API, so link expiry never interrupts playback.
Seeking
Section titled “Seeking”The player’s HTTP Range header is forwarded to Yandex untouched, so
seeking doesn’t require re-downloading the file from the start — noticeable
on long audiobooks and DJ sets.
