Player displays "Connecting..." while playing (3 posts)

    There was a previous thread about this but it got closed without comment.

    The plugin generally works fine, but in Chrome and IE it shows "Connecting..." in the song info even though it's playing the file just fine. In Firefox it shows track, artist and play time as expected.

    I don't know if this is a universal problem, but I've verified it on at least two systems.

    I have the same problem with Chrome and IE except that Firefox will not play the song and show 'File not found'. A few months ago all was fine and i think it has to do with a bug on adobe flash player update, maybe?

    Hello

    Had the same problem and searched for a long time before finding out, on this forum, how to solve it.

    Your hoster is probably gzipping mp3 files when streaming them. You have to avoid this process by inserting this line in your .htaccess file :
    SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.mp3$ no-gzip dont-vary

    Would be great to have a note on this point in the doc / faq ...
