Question

Looking to stream a radio station on my website, we also host the streaming but from a different domain. Just getting this error:

Task Queue failed at step 5: Playlist could not be loaded due to crossdomain policy restrictions

Code on domain A:

    <div id="mediaplayer">Loading...</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/jwplayer/jwplayer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    jwplayer("mediaplayer").setup({
        flashplayer: "/jwplayer/player.swf",
        playlistfile: "http://domainB/stream.m3u",
        image: "/images/listening.jpg",
        type: "sound",
        allowscriptaccess:"always",
        width:300,
        height:300
    });
</script>

Just having no luck, tried a variety of options... Am I wasting my time with out crossdomain.xml on domain B ? (of which I have no access to at the moment, but maybe able to get access to soon)

The stream works fine from itunes, winamp etc..

Was it helpful?

Solution

Okay, the problem was: The url for the m3u file isn't the actual url for the stream. I needed to open the m3u file in a text editor, and use that url, which included port etc.

<script type='text/javascript' src='/jwplayer/jwplayer.js'></script>
<div id='media'></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
  jwplayer('media').setup({
    'flashplayer': '/jwplayer/player.swf',
    'file': 'http://xx.xxxxxx.xxx:80/xxxxfm',
    'provider': 'sound',
    'controlbar': 'bottom',
    'image': "/images/listening.jpg",
    'width': '300',
    'height': '300'
  });
</script>

this code seems to work, no crossdomain.xml needed, it was requesting one only because the url was incorrect.
