I'm in the same boat, got clients crawling all over me. They have all sorts of VR content and they stream it for some reason.

This should be working again now. Please try again and let us know if you're still seeing any issues.
abiluck It looks like we never actually returned the specific type for .m4b in particular anyway, but if that's important let me know and I'll ask the team to add that.

It is working now! Thank you for fixing this.
As for m4b, it should have "audio/mp4" content-type

abiluck Thanks for confirming! I'll ask the team if we can add support for .m4b as well.

abiluck The request for that is still open with the team, but I don't have any news on that right now. I'll follow up here with any update on that.
