it's not practical or efficient to use ssl for any stream - streaming audio/video already has enough overhead in the encode decode process, you don't need the additional cpu load on both ends for a media stream.
a stream contains no information that needs to be protected by ssl encryption, and neither side needs to certify their authenticity -- a stream is public, free for all, anonymously. |

Yes, you right, i know ssl is not require for streaming but our customer radio web page has use ssl certificate, and their player was not play without ssl streams. regards. |
realize that a web player on a page requested over ssl depends on the client's (a browser's) capabilities - for an embedded player, that also depends on the app that the client's browser dispaches to play a stream.
that said, your problem is likely due to the fact that most browsers do not like pages with a secure/insecure mix of content, they will throw warnings or refuse to load the insecure content. what can you do -- the simplest solution is to make the web player page non-ssl to accomodate the insecure stream. some sites will not allow this because of policy -- then the option is to proxy the dnas with a ssl server, running a script to read and deliver the stream over ssl to the client. there's a downside to this because the client will need a player that supports ssl (i don 't know any that do). while webplayers look like the server they're on are playing content, the client browser is doing all the work. |
real Easy!!
if you have @ VPS just Using Stunnel client requested shoutcast over ssl. like in my radio station i have shoutcast with ssl.
