Mac/iOS users can't listen to my LibreTime IceCast stream
Hi,
I installed Libretime + Icecast for my small group of friends. ( less than 20). All is good with browser using Laptop/Desktop or Android. But some are using Mac/iOS and it seems output is not compatible with them and they can't listen.
I tried different settings in libre time to publish with ogg or mp3 ending and stream type. But not playable on Mac/iOS unless they install something like VLC.
Anything I can try?

@jvnadr any ideas?
AAC stream on Mac.
Yes I can confirm that you need an AAC stream on a Mac like @hzr said.
this always bothered me doing web dev - webm works on everything else, every combination of phone, desktop, laptop, browser.
except safari and ios.
Are you linking to /mountpoint.m3u or just /mountpoint?
I can open Icecast MP3 streams perfectly on macOS/iOS. The trick is just to remove .m3u from the URL.
Not to hijack the thread but it's ncie to see you around @jcaleb! Hope you and your family are doing well.
