Hi Kornfeld,
Thanks for your answer. I'm testing the sample for my requirements. It is ok for txt files but for mp4 files I got "c# The specified network name is no longer available" error and stream is empty. Do you have any idea about that?

Did you adjusted the MIME type?

Yes, like this: return Response.AsStream(() => File.OpenRead(@"E:\test_videos\test.mp4"), "video/mp4");

And you are sure the file is MP4 and the file is there at the specified path?

yes, when I call "file:///E:/test_videos/test.mp4" from the browser the video plays. By the way the error occurs in the method Process(HttpListenerContext ctx) of Nancy.Hosting.Self library. what is wrong..

Update: I could play video on firefox and IE, the error occurs only in chrome.
