Question

Got jQuery running a HTML5 audio element. When I use:

audioPlayer.pause();
audioPlayer.currentTime = 0;

on a local file, it will stop the file and when you hit play again, it will restart it. However, with a Live stream, such as SHOUTcast, it will simply pause the audio, not stop it completely. How would I go about doing this?

Answer 1

Try this.

audioPlayer.pause();
audioPlayer.src = '';
audioPlayer.load();

Then when you click play, set src to the source.

audioPlayer.src = /* actual source */;
audioPlayer.load();
audioPlayer.play();
