Icecast - Mar 2017 - Fw: Request - Javascript player using Media Source Extensions

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a javascript player that uses Media Source
Extensions to play Icecast streams on modern browsers.

Based on my limited research, the following players do not seem to support
Icecast streams:
Aurora.js - Icecast does not support HEAD requests, which Aurora.js seems to
require.
Shaka - Needs DASH manifests, cannot play off a simple URL. IANAL but MPEG LA
seems to have issued a call for patents on DASH.

Please do not suggest Flash players.

Thanks,
ab

Hi,

Could you folks suggest a Javascript player that uses Media Source Extensions to
play Icecast streams on modern browsers?

Thanks,

Here you go:

This is a WIP, but tested on the KH Build of IC2.
We have not tested this on the Xiph Build. I don't know if CORS Headers are
enabled there.
Here it is running an HE-AAC stream:

There is no metadata yet, but that is coming...
This is sourced with a StreamS HiFi Live Encoder using the commercial Fraunhofer
libs (the good stuff).
