HTML 5 Streaming audio from audio tag, after stop/played again- continue not from stream

Question

Hello there :)

I have a little problem for straming media... well... i add to my app <audio> tag with src= online streaming radio (mp3) and make external controlls and etc with javascript. The problem is... this situation: i open app, everything is ok. Make playing radio. After some time- i click on pause. After 10 minutes click play again - now radio continue from place i left it, not from place in online streaming and after few seconds playing stops. Is there any solution how to restart media file or something, clear the buffer or else.

I hope you understand me and sorry for my english skills.

Thank you :)

Answer 1

I think i found solution for this... to clear media like that:

    element.src = "about:blank";
    element.load();

    element.src = src;
    element.load();

Where = src; is audio media source (like online radio).

Thanks anyway.

Answer 2

Thanks for Sharing the solution. However, try it with stop() and play().

To assign a "blank" address will definitely throw a HTML error, which might cause some unknown problem.

Hope my suggestion can help you.

Yep, i will try, but in documentation- there is no mention for stop() method... with about:blank- no error occur in console. However i will try with stop... and nope, there is no stop() :/

(element is audio tag)
