472908 - live video streams don't autostart and don't throw oncanplaythrough event

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 455654

(Core :: Audio/Video, defect)

Description

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

We're trying to get a live stream started that will autostart to get the lowest delay possible.  Either via the autoplay tag:

http://people.mozilla.org/~aking/Random/asa_test.html

Or a script:

And we're not getting either of those to work.

We want this so we can do live streaming on launch day, btw. :)

My understanding is icecast uses the chained ogg feature of ogg files and we don't support chained oggs. You might want to do some testing in this area.

See bug 455165 regarding the chained ogg issue which someone marked invalid for some reason. We'll play the first ogg in the chain then stop. Depending on how you are using icecast this will only play part of the stream.
