The VideoLAN Forums

Hello.

I've set up a PC having VLC produce a audio livestream (mp3) (from the Line In of a soundcard). Works well.

From an "outside" user PC I can play the livestream with VLC-player (Media/Open Network stream and give "http://IPnr_of_VLC_streaming_PC" ) and it also plays fine in Firefox, but NOT in IE and Chrome. What's is in Firefox that IE and Chrome don't have ?

My code on the webserver is like this:

...

<audio controls>
<source src="http://IPnr_of_VLC_streaming_PC:80" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>

...

So, what to do to get it working in IE and Chrome webbrowsers ? (And Safari ?).

Thanks !

Hi,

You may want to setup an icecast server to act as a middleman between vlc and your clients browser

for instance you can use this tutorial:

Thanks for the answer, but IceCast costs money. It already works for me, just now it works in VLC-player, IE and Edge, but not in Firefox and Chrome. So, I need to know how to get it to work in those browsers.
