I am running into an interesting situation where everytime I try to play an audio stream it stops once I close the alert message. As a matter of fact if I do not include the alert message in the method I never hear the audio at all.
Any thoughts on why the audio may not be playing/stopping after the method call?
My first assumption was the audio object was being reference locally versus globally so I moved it outside the function but still no luck.
Below is a snippet of the code.
Html file:
<img src="images/btn_play_main.png" class="button" id="play_button" onClick="playOrpause()"/>
Script file:
audio = new Audio('http://shoutcast.canopyradio.com:38700/;');
function playOrpause()
{
try{
if(audio.paused){
$("#button").attr("src","images/btn_pause_main.png");
audio.play();
alert("Play");
}else{
$("#button").attr("src","images/btn_play_main.png");
audio.pause();
alert("Paused");
}
}
catch(e) {
alert("Exception [scripts.js showAbout()]: " + e);
}
}
UPDATE: Added an alert message to check the state and the audio object thinks it is still playing but there is no audio on the actual playbook. In ripple and vmware emulator everything works fine.
