Demo AMC Player :: Play streams

Let's play streams

With a Html audio tag it is possible to add a streaming url - but NOT a playlist (like m3u, pls, xspf).
If playing a stream with a audio tag the length of its duration continously changes during play time. You cannot jump forward or backwards.

The AMC player detects a stream by a changing duration of the audio. Within a second it disables some controls to jump within an audio including the progress bar and display of the audio time.
All other functioniality is the same like for audio files.

It works with AMC player - but it is not highly optimized to play streams yet.

To get it run:

• Add a data-title attribute to show the label for the stream in the player titlebar and in the playlist window. Shorten it if it is necessary.
• If you add a source tag you *could* skip the type, data-ch and title - those are needed in the download window only.
• Do NOT add different stream types (Mp3, Ogg, Aac) as multiple source tags inside the same audio.
  Keep in mind that stream types (Ogg, Aac) could not not be supported on all OS and/ or browsers.

Html preview

<audio loop="loop"
	controls="controls"
	preload="none"

	<!-- optional: more song metadata with html 5 data attributes -->
	data-title="LiteFavorites (MP3)"
	...
	>

	<!-- audio sources -->
	<source src="http://ais-edge24-nyc06.cdnstream.com/1255_128" type="audio/mp3" data-ch="2.0" title="2.0" />

</audio>

Example streams

Entrypoints to find a internet radio stream are

• https://directory.shoutcast.com/
• https://dir.xiph.org

The streams below work at the time of creation of this example file. I have no influence to it. Maybe one or some of the stations do not work for all time in the future. If a stream does not start then try the next one :-)

All other streams below are MP3 streams.
