How do I properly stream media from a local http server running on my laptop to other devices on my WiFi network?

So I am running a simple http server on a certain directory on my laptop (say Music/), with

-m http.server

- the command starts up a server on my machine with port

. I proceed to look up my local IP with

addr | grep inet

and then I punch in

.168.my.ip

on an android - everything runs fine, the directory loads and I can view and download files from my phone using

.168.my.ip:8000

. The only problem is that when I *play* any movies or songs, the little media player thing that pops up on my browser cant scrub forwards or backwards, the only controls available to me are mute/unmute, play/pause, fullscreen and download. I am positive that my browser (on the android) is not the issue since it can play music/media files over the "normal" internet perfectly fine and both the firefox and chrome browser-inbuilt media player have this issue. So what do I have to do to be able to play the media files through my android (or any other device running a browser) in a full-featured manner? My laptop is running python 3.9.2 on Arch Linux with Linux kernel 5.11.7. Thanks,
