Buffer 40MB or larger files does not work

Hi

I have this code: what it does is it loads a mp3 file into memory, (using jwplayer), with small files (under 7mb) I can skip forward or move back. But when I load a 40mb file it look like it has to load the whole file into memory. So I cant move forward or back (user exp sucks).

Does anyone know how to get this to work?

public static void ResumableFile(string filename, string fullpath, string contentType)
    {
        System.IO.Stream iStream = null;

        // Buffer to read 10K bytes in chunk:
        byte[] buffer = new Byte[10000];

        int length;
        
        try
        {
            FileStream myFile = new FileStream(fullpath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite);
            BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(myFile);
            try
            {
                iStream = new System.IO.FileStream(fullpath, System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read, System.IO.FileShare.Read);

                HttpContext.Current.Response.Buffer = false;

                // Total bytes to read:

                //int pack = 10240; //10K bytes
