Stream drops with Chrome v52 on Android #602

Closed andistuder closed 4 years ago

andistuder commented 8 years ago

I experience issues when streaming on Chrome v52 on Android: the stream frequently drops, and when sending play again, nothing happens.

I am using Howler v2.0.0 with configuration as here live radio demo here: https://howlerjs.com/#radio

Does anyone else experience similar issues?

I'm not able to play in Chrome v52 on Mac. the audio doesn't load. Howler v 2.0.0 too.

Chrome v52 on OS X was ok for me, but I had issues with Firfox on OS X :/

As I understand by now, I think it has to do with browser caching. I have started updating the source with a timestamp (as mentioned here), and the re-connection works quite smoothly now.

TBH, the chrome issue is probably not related to howler.js, as the same behaviour takes place if working directly with the audio html element.
