Please do not hijack other threads on the ML… This is a very annoying thing to do.

Not all browsers support the ICY HTTP Streaming Protocol. For AAC, it requires ADTS support, which contrary to popular belief, IS NOT RAW. It is AAC frames in an audio transport stream, not video TS. To play this requires specific support, and it also needs to know about the embedded metadata, which once again, contrary to popular belief, ICY metadata IS NOT ID3vX. ICY MP3 streaming is similar, although becoming less and less relevant because of low efficiency MP3. There are a number of Flash Players that can play ICY/FLV formatted streams within browsers, including metadata, but with Flash being the security nightmare that it has become, this is another problem for ICY compatibility. /greg.

No flash player can fetch the embedded metadata due to security restrictions concerning non-standard request headers which is required in order to get the embedded metadata. A patch for ice cast to allow this however is quite possible, perhaps a config directive that tells icecast not to wait for the specific request header and send the embedded metadata regardless of the icy-metadata header will be a nice option. In JavaScript it should be quite possible though. Also, as for “not all browsers support the icy http streaming protocol.” Never had any troubles playing icecast streams in any browser, it really depend on the browsers audio encoding support rather then the “protocol” which is plain http/s.

Mark, IE doesn’t support the AAC+ codec via ICY protocol using the HTML5 Audio tag. IE does support playing AAC+ streams via Adobe Flash with the KH edition of Icecast Server. You could implement a Flash player with HTML5 fallback. That’s the opposite of what most websites seem to do but we managed to do it and works better than the other way around. Ross.
