Robert, Thanks but no, no bug filed (yet). I wanted to post this and see if I got a response which said I'm crazy, try this....
BTW, been trying to file a note on the icecast forums but can't, they keep refusing to allow gmail.com addresses to be allowed as forum members (a bit draconian in my opinion, but being a developer myself, I guess I can tolerate a few quirks in those that know how...). Have you seen this behavior that I mention? It's a bit hard to set up and test, my links are only active when we broadcast.... My experience with static files everything works great. Oh, interestingly, if you leave firefox alone for a long time (over night), and rebroadcast things do seem to work fine, ie this seems to imply cache related, but still independent of cache settings of the html doc itself, even clearing the local cache by doing a clear-all does not prevent the behavior on the local machine... only real-time and or a restart of the ff app does) Yours truly, Brian On Sun, Nov 25, 2012 at 1:33 PM, Robert O'Callahan <[email protected]> wrote: > On Sat, Nov 24, 2012 at 4:31 PM, <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> 1) autoplay does not work for live streams, ie ogg/vorbis/theora via an >> ICECAST server, generated using gstreamer (ie shoutsend). > > > Is there a bug filed for this? > >> 2) Again with live streams as mentioned in item #1, upon a discontinuity >> in the feed, any refresh of the page, assuming the feed restarts, results in >> only prior content loaded into the buffer being played.
