[Icecast] Streaming issue with IOS and Safari
We had only MP3 for a long time, and all iOS users could listen. I don't think iOS likes OGG. We also advertise the VLC app in case someone has an issue with the web player.

Hi Safari is a problem for a lot of things and Apple are not keeping it up to date properly. The best action is to replace it with proper browser software such as Firefox or Chrome.
