A second issue, is it appears that Firefox HTML5 embedded media player, does not support
how the shoutcast server handles the MP3 streaming. It appears to be a header issue, where
shoutcast is sending something Firefox doesn't recognize.
This causes the following error:
Upon which, the Firefox media element disappears, not being able to play the media.
I've looked around and there was not any immediate solutions to this problem, some
suggested it wont work unless played on port 80, which i ruled out as an option.
Some suggested using a PHP workaround.
Either way it appears Firefox is not a very viable solution at this time for using this media player.
I have heard reports that "Internet Explorer" does work, however they've also had issues with this.
Chrome, Winamp, and VLC
all seem to work consistently.
