Listening to Audio in a Browser

To listen to audio being played by OwnTone in a browser, follow these steps:

  1. Start playing audio in OwnTone.
  2. In the web interface, activate the stream in the output menu by clicking on the icon :material-broadcast: next to HTTP Stream. After a few seconds, the audio should play in the background 1.

Outputs{: class="zoom" }

For the streaming option to work, MP3 encoding must be supported by libavcodec. If it is not, a message will appear in the log file. For example, on Debian or Ubuntu, MP3 encoding support is provided by the package libavcodec-extra.

  1. On iOS devices, playing audio in the background when the device is locked is not supported in a private browser tab. ↩︎
