title: How to play an AAC+ stream in Chrome?
body: <p>I’ve tried several combinations of types and setting in (the excellent) mediaplayer.js, but cannot get BBC Radio 3 to play in Chrome. The stream URL is <a href="http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_intl_lc_radio3_p?s=1362261751&amp;e=1362276151&amp;h=47e8b2755e05d1a5ceeb665f116984de" rel="nofollow">here</a>, and the playlist from which it is taken is <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r3_aaclca.pls" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>The tag is: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;audio src="http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_intl_lc_radio3_p?s=1362261751&amp;amp;e=1362276151&amp;amp;h=47e8b2755e05d1a5ceeb665f116984de" type="audio/mp4" id="player"&gt;&lt;/audio&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Looking at Chrome’s inspector, I see that the network is calling the stream, but it just loads indefinitely, without audio starting.</p>
  
  <p>Other streams are working fine (<a href="http://classicalrad.io/kdfc" rel="nofollow">demo</a>), but this particular one is problematic, and I assume it has to do with the AAC+ format.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: The instantiation code is <a href="https://github.com/clipperhouse/classicalrad.io/blob/master/public/javascripts/player.js" rel="nofollow">here</a>, figure it’s clearer than pasting the whole thing in.</p>
  
  <p>Edit 2: It works in Safari (Mac)! Which I assume is related to Quicktime. Which is why I believe that AAC+ is the issue.</p>
