So I wrote an app for the Karma to stream music off of it ... It works fine for MP3, but fails for OGG. Is it possible I have the wrong content type? Anyone see anything obviously wack about the header returned when requesting an ogg:

MP3: (works)
GET /streamFile?fid=4336

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: close
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 4978688
Content-Type: audio/mpeg
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=Track 4.mp3

...music data...


OGG: (does not work)
GET /streamFile?fid=6256

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: close
Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 4915296
Content-Type: application/ogg
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=track 7.ogg

...music data...

Case sensitivity on the track name? Is the MIME type right: application/ogg?

application/ogg came from an RFC that I found on ogg ... I noticed that I didn't have a mapping in my registery for that type, though ... I set that up, but still no dice. Maybe I'll hunt around in winamp and see if I can figure out what mime type it expects. Has anyone streamed an ogg in winamp before?

Have't tried it here.

But I would expect application/x-ogg or application/x-vorbis to work.

Speaking of which, on the player, what is the tag type for an ogg? Is it "ogg", or "vorbis" (in the tag file). I want to add three lines to Hijack's webserver for them.

Cheers

Oopps..

I meant to say: audio/x-ogg would be the most correct content-type (mime) for ogg files.

And here is the official word on ogg..

On the Karma, codec=vorbis . I could have sworn it used to be codec=ogg, but that's not true currently. I assume the Empeg is the same.

Cool -- I'll try these out and see which one is the most successful.

Incidentally, application/ogg may be technically correct, but it certainly SEEMS wrong to me... audio/ogg seems more appropriate. but oh well.

audio/ogg seems more appropriate. but oh well.

But the Ogg container could in theory contain a Theora video file rather than a Vorbis audio file. Only a, er, application would be able to tell...

Yeah.

Note that application/ogg is brand spanking new, and probably not supported yet by many (most?) players out there. I think audio/x-ogg is probably the most common. The x- part means "use an external player rather than the built-in browser support, if any" (I think).

From grepping through the v3a3 player binary, it appears that vorbis is indeed the tag type on the Empeg as well.

Ah ha. Of course
