A particular Flash Audio Player allowed listeners to hear us, but after 15-minutes caused Firefox to collapse completely. Now the issue has been dealt with and can be read about.
Wow that’s a long link.
Thanks
Thank you for the link and the update info. Firefox crashing in the middle of things has been a serious pain in the bum. Did the download and install for 3.6.6 and everything seems better. Once again thanks.
Results
Actually I’d gotten things stable before this new version by changing flash audio players. The one that crashed with Firefox was the Minicaster from Draftlight (commercial but free), the one that stopped crashing is FFmp3 Flash (open source from Sourceforge), but yes, I’ve installed Firefox 3.6.6 and nothing has gone wrong.
I posted this because there are many other flash audio players and any of them could have had problems with Firefox.
How to Use This Thing
Is this like a built in audio player you can include in your posts? How do you use it?
Sharing Knowledge
I will share what I know about ffMP3, a Flash Player available as opensource at sourceforge.net
It can be embedded on an html webpage so that simply clicking on it connects and starts your stream, which in our case comes from shoutcast.com, being fed by our own server.
The instructions for making it work come with the download or appear on the source web page.
Can it be embedded in a posting, such as here at part15.us? That is an idea I have never tried. Maybe so, but I do not know.
