[Icecast] Re What HTML5 radio player do you use ?

[michel memeteau]

Hi everybody .


i'm testing html5media to move from flashonly to "works everywhere" icecast
webplayer.

I have both my ogg and mp3 streams served by my page :


http://www.radiogalere.org/ecoute/index.html


and opus and aac in the works.


But I experience very frequent disconnection, do you confirm ?
