Hi !

I've setup gnuMP3d on my debian box. It streams MP3 presnt on the hard drive on my server, downsampling them if theres' too much connexions... an open source dream

In front of it, I've put an Apache2 which encapsulate the flow in SSL/TLS.
The certificate I use is deliverd by a third party authority (CACert), and so It would be valid (if CACert.org is listed in the trusted third party CA which is not the case by default).

When I click a folder to play it, gnuMP3d parses it and generated a m3u file which goes like this one :

CODE

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF: 275, - Alan parson project - - Eye in the sky [ Pop - 04:35 / 4.2Mb ]
https://myserver/music/Alan%20Parson%20Project/Alan%20Parson%20Project%20-%20Eye%20In%20The%20Sky.mp3
#EXTINF: 179, - Alan parson project - - Grandaddy [ Pop - 02:59 / 3.4Mb ]
https://myserver/music/Alan%20Parson%20Project/Alan%20Parson%20Project%20-%20Grandaddy.mp3
#EXTINF: 250, - Alan parson project - - Lucifer [ Pop - 04:10 / 3.8Mb ]
https://myserver/music/Alan%20Parson%20Project/Alan%20Parson%20Project%20-%20Lucifer.mp3
#EXTINF: 246, - Alan parson project - - Old and wise [ Pop - 04:06 / 3.7Mb ]
https://myserver/music/Alan%20Parson%20Project/Alan%20Parson%20Project%20-%20Old%20And%20Wise.mp3

When I give this file to foobar (either WinAmp) i'(ve got this in the log :

CODE

INFO (CORE) : startup time: 46 ms
INFO (CORE) : opening file for playback :
INFO (CORE) : location: "https://myserver/music/Alan%20Parson%20Project/Alan%20Parson%20Project%20-%20Eye%20In%20The%20Sky.mp3" (0)
ERROR (CORE) : error opening file for playback :
INFO (CORE) : location: "https://myserver/music/Alan%20Parson%20Project/Alan%20Parson%20Project%20-%20Eye%20In%20The%20Sky.mp3" (0)

Winamp says :"Error syncing to mpeg".

Media Player plays a bit of the stream... then stop... then restart... etc.

Have you got any idea of what's going on ?

Thanks a lot

Yes, streaming over HTTPS is not supported (and probably won't be in the future).

Too bad

Would it be too hard to develop ? I think SSL/TLS wrapper mechanism would be reused from another open source projet... no ?

It seems that WinAMP have also a problem : when the .M3U contains HTTPS, WinAMP uses HTTP and not HTTPS.

If Foobar could read streams over HTTPS, it may be a real opportunity to precede WinAMP :-)

VLC seems to read streams over https.

Not yet tested, but somebody on gnuMP3d' users' mailing list told me that.
