Originally created by @jsooter1 on GitHub (Nov 13, 2021).
I understand that an App is forthcoming. Is there a web browser on iOS that can play the Audiobooks? In (my) Chrome and Safari, everything looks as though it works, but nothing plays and the timer only says 00:00.
Fantastic program! Great work! Looking forward to using it fully.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 13, 2021):
I haven't actually tested on iOS but it should be playing in chrome. Are you using a reverse proxy?
@jsooter1 commented on GitHub (Nov 13, 2021):
It does work in Chrome on Windows but not (for me) in Chrome (or Safari) on iOS. Tested both reverse proxied and with local address with the same results: Works in Chrome on a Windows laptop in and out of network but not on phone.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 13, 2021):
Is the play button turning into a pause button? Are there any indicators that it is loading?
Can you watch the log while you try to play the audio and see if there are any errors popping up?
@jsooter1 commented on GitHub (Nov 13, 2021):
Play button turns into Pause then quickly back to Play. There is an error in the log:

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 13, 2021):
That looks good, no errors. The docker log in Unraid incorrectly flags the ffmpeg as an error because it has the word "error" in it.
When you keep pressing play it keeps switching to pause and back? I'm wondering now if this has to do with the update I made yesterday. Were you experiencing this 2 days ago or later?
@jsooter1 commented on GitHub (Nov 13, 2021):
I installed it in late August. I've never had it work on my phone. wish I had an Android to test with.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 13, 2021):
I know that others have used it on iOS browser, maybe you have some ad blocker or something blocking the request?
I just pushed a patch from yesterdays update, it is probably worth pulling that on your server.
I also might suggest trying the Brave browser, this is my browser of choice and is on apple app store.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 13, 2021):
I just got a hold of an iphone and have come across the issue you are talking about. Looking into it now
Update: I only tested in Safari and it turns out safari mobile still does not support Media Source Extensions, so safari will not be an option. I just ordered an iphone to test with, because the emulator will only allow safari.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Nov 17, 2021):
Just pushed
v1.6.20where audiobooks are now streamable in iOS on chrome or safari.There are a lot of UI issues on mobile still, but this issue should be closed now.
@timespacedecay commented on GitHub (Mar 18, 2022):
I have the same issue, but with the iOS app. Playback "starts" (never actually starting) and the Play button change to Pause; after a few seconds, playback "stops" and play button changes back to play icon. No audio is streamed. Logs on Unraid Docker show the same as this person's logs.
Streaming via FireFox on my PC works flawlessly. Streaming via iOS browser, either FireFox or Safari, the stream has "hiccups" every second, where the audio cuts out for a fraction of a second, every second or so. Hard to explain. I don't care about that if I can get the app working. Happy to post a new bug report if you'd like.
Edit: I skipped my reverse proxy and went direct with IP:Port and streaming works now, but with the same cutting in/out as described when I use Safari or FireFox mobile browsers.
Edit 2: After more testing, the cutting in/out is only with one AudioBook. Happy to provide it for troubleshooting purposes (it works flawlessly with Plex + Prologue app). My other AudioBooks stream smoothly on the iOS app without the cutting in/out issue.
Related to the reverse proxy, does anyone have a config for pfsense HAProxy?
@JHarding86 commented on GitHub (Apr 19, 2023):
I am also seeking a working HAProxy configuration for the websocket. I have followed the instructions here but to no avail: https://forum.netgate.com/topic/158983/websockets-configuration-in-haproxy/2?loggedin=true
