Re: .htaccess or what to name, and where to put the mime types files

Hi Thomas,

Sorry, but in double checking, if the mime.types is not exist in the old
ice2 root directory - the AAC flash player don’t working.
So yes the mime.types is necessary.
I think is for the best if you include the mime.types in the next release.

Meanwhile, can you tell where to locate the file in the icecast-2.3.99.3
[win32] ?

Yaniv.

Your issue has absolutely nothing to do with mime types in my opinion.
Even less with Apache or .htaccess files.
See for yourself: http://168.103.47.57:8000/
Icecast correctly lists the content-type (aka mime-type) for your stream.

Your issues are 99% purely client side issues.
e.g. lack of support for mp3 playback in html5 by many browsers (I'd
provide also a opus or vorbis stream to widen support).
Or crossdomain policies getting in the way (see links and discussion in
this thread).

Cheers

Thomas
