My HTML5 audio tag does not play in Google Chrome.

I have a simple audio "streaming" service on my website. I am streaming from SHOUTcast's IP address which is provided and the audio type is currently in AACP.

Here is my code:

<audio id="audioplayer" controls autoplay> <source src="http://50.7.77.114:8007/" type="audio/aacp"> </audio>

The streaming service has been working flawlessly for around a year and a bit without a problem.

Now it does not play and does not show an error. Is there a bug with Google Chrome that we don't know of by any chance?

I'm using Google Chrome: Version 55.0.2883.87 m (64-bit)

Thanks in advance

Your stream stopped working in Chrome 55 because Chrove versions 54+ do not support Shoutcast 1 HTTP protocol anymore (https://www.internet-radio.com/community/threads/latest-chrome-browser-update-v55-breaks-shoutcast-v1-x-html5-players.27560/)

Solutions:

  1. The best solution for now is upgrading to Shoutcast version 2.
  2. Another solution is to use patched Shoutcast 1 binaries available here: http://saynotolinux.com/shoutcast/
