Shoutcast / Icecast stream player

[joseggarza]

Hello Livecode Gurus!!!

I already spend hours looking for an answer without any luck. I need to make an android/IOS APP for a customer(radio Station). They will be using Icecast to broadcast the radio station.

I used this website as a test http://www.radiowebsites.org or http://www.emisoras.com.mx as test.

I tried to use the Regular android browser and I was able to listen on the broadcast, then I tried Chrome and firefox for android and both of them play the podcast just fine.

The PROBLEM comes when I try to make my app using native controls.

when I use my native browser control it just does not work.

this is what I am using:

# create the browser
mobileControlCreate "browser"
put the result into sBrowserId

# set up the basic defaults
mobileControlSet sBrowserId, "rect", the rect of field "FldBrowser"
mobileControlSet sBrowserId, "visible", "true"
mobileControlSet sBrowserId, "url", "http://www.radiowebsites.org"


it look to me to me that HTML5 is not working on native browser. I also tied native PLAYER without any luck.

I tried all this on LC ver 7.1.1 and ver 8.0.1

can someone point me to the right direction.

Thanks in advance...

One thing you could try (although my own tests don't look promising) is the new browser widget. I believe that this is fully cross platform. It is also easier to work with as it can be tested in LiveCode before being tested on a mobile device.

The browser widget definitely supports HTML5 as I am able to play videos through the <video> tag with it. However, I could not get it to work with the stream links you posted.

Hi andrewferguson, Thanks for your reply.

I did tried the new browser widget, but I had no luck.

But Finally, the native player worked!!!!! the native Browser did not worked with HTML5 Audio.....
here is what I used


put "http://138.68.51.64:8000/live" into tStation
mobilecontrolCreate "player", "mplayer"
mobileControlSet "mplayer", "filename", tStation
mobileControlSet "mplayer", "visible", false
mobileControlSet "mplayer", "rect", "10,10,60,60"
mobileControlSet "mplayer", "showController", false
mobileControlDo "mplayer", "play"
