Hi everyone, I've setup a mount with URL authentication. This works perfectly from a desktop machine using Chrome or VLC. I've previously used public streams from iOS played through mobile chrome or safari (and others have used the Radio Box app), which also worked perfectly. However, when I load an stream that requires authentication on mobile Chrome, it prompts me for the credentials but then gives me a "Failed download" error page once I enter them. Mobile safari is no better, nor are any mobile apps I can find. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this, knows a reason this might be, or any way to get authenticated streams to work on an iOS device. Seems strange to me that a basic auth requirement would break the ability of these things to play the stream. thanks! Jay -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Jay, I have no experience in this area, but I read in http://www.icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.3.1/icecast2_listenerauth.html that there is no an exhaustive list of players that support listener authentication. Also, have you tried htpasswd authentication ?. Jos? Luis El mar, 12-02-2013 a las 22:18 -0600, Jay Wineinger escribi?:> Hi everyone, > > > > I've setup a mount with URL authentication.

A possible work-around is to put an auth-token or credentials (beware, plain text!) into the parameter part of the url: http://example.org:8000/mystream.opus?token=28f81248-9c42-4d98-bd74-e47ddd4f4395 This will only work with the URL-auth backend though. For more details see: http://www.icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.3.3/icecast2_listenerauth.html The parameters will be handed through somehow. Just try it out. Cheers Thomas
