How to play HLS audio stream in SoundManager 2

I need to play some audio streams but I can't get HLS (Apple Cuppertino HTTP Live Streaming) to play in HTML5 within SoundManager 2.

Is there some alternatives to play HLS streams via web? (not only with iOS devices)

Solution

  • SoundManager 2 can't play HLS streams, as the author says:

    (...) SM2 aims to be a "simple" library in terms of supporting basic sound playback (...)

    After some research and tests, I'll go with MediaElementJS, a very nice project for supporting a lot of audio and video formats and codecs, with HLS implementation from flashls, RTMP support and many others.
