[users@httpd] Streaming multimedia content
Hello,
I've got an Apache 2.2.x server as well as an internal Icecast server.
The icecast server is streaming out various multimedia content to
internal clients, ogg, mp3, aac, files, and apache is serving a web
page where selected content can be clicked on and streamed. A sample
url looks like:
<a href="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8000/stream">Click Here for the stream</a>
That url could be streaming mp3, ogg, or aac content. Instead of the
browser in question streaming the content using it's media player, I'm
instead prompted to download the file.
Googling has shown I probably have to do something with either php
which I do run, or content type or addhandler, if anyone has this
working i'd appreciate knowing it.
Thanks.
Dave.

This is not a http or apache related question, but what the heck:

Hi,
I've never embedded a player on a page, how would I pull this off?
Thanks.
Dave.

Well, then you ask browser to handle audio file - it's up to plug-ins
installed how it will do it. For now, it does what's the most correct
course of action: by asking user what to do with the file it will
download.
Why not use an embedded player on page?

Hi,
I'm assuming the header is one that the browser doesn't understand,
audio/mpeg is my guess. Is this solvable?
Thanks.

If the browser asks user for action, the "Content-Type" header sent by
icecast (not apache) is either missing, plain wrong or one that the
browser doesn't understand.
What do you mean by "internal media player"? One that comes to mind is
only audio and video tags in html 5.
