# MP3 network streaming (streaming to iOS)
|
|
|
|
You can listen to audio being played by OwnTone by opening this network
|
|
stream address in pretty much any music player:
|
|
|
|
[http://owntone.local:3689/stream.mp3](http://owntone.local:3689/stream.mp3)
|
|
or
|
|
http://SERVER_ADDRESS:3689/stream.mp3
|
|
|
|
This is currently the only way of listening to your audio on iOS devices, since
|
|
Apple does not allow AirPlay receiver apps, and because Apple Home Sharing
|
|
cannot be supported by OwnTone. So what you can do instead is install a
|
|
music player app like VLC, connect to the stream and control playback with
|
|
Remote.
|
|
|
|
In the speaker selection list, clicking on the icon should start the stream
|
|
playing in the background on browsers that support that.
|
|
|
|
Note that MP3 encoding must be supported by ffmpeg/libav for this to work. If
|
|
it is not available you will see a message in the log file. In Debian/Ubuntu you
|
|
get MP3 encoding support by installing the package "libavcodec-extra".
