Hello, there is no clue on how to use and icecast server to have the player running a live audio stream. Using the Wordpress Sonaar theme and the podcast player provided with.
the URL of my audio server is like icecast.domainname.com/live.mp3
My icecast stream URL is icecast.ramdam.fm/live.mp3. Since the radio has not started yet, the stream is not continuous for the moment. I launch it when I start testing.
I tried using a playlist and putting the URL in the "External audio link" using "Stream" setting, But it does not work too.
But I think the player is not well optimized for live streaming. Because of the waveform, we can go back in time and have an offset between the listening and the real live. And visually, seing the progress going back and forth is not that good.
I would suggest to maybe not having the progress bar and having the waveform moving (like it's the sound going up and down). And also when we doing pause and play on the player, it comes back to the realtime live. (refreshing the audio stream)
I don't know if it's the good place make suggestion, but I wanted to tell you this.
The MP3 Audio Player Pro has more feature than our theme's built in player. It's a different product and is suitable to be used with any wordpress themes.

How does it work ?
Hi,
What is your real icecast stream url?
You need to create a playlist and add it in the custom field.

In order for me to test it, let me know when it will be live. the link is down atm: icecast.ramdam.fm/live.mp3
Also, please provide me access to your wp-admin

Forgive me I thought podcast manager would have been enough, it is done
Please check now, it should work but make sure the live stream is working with sound.
I disabled this option: https://d.pr/i/8W54f5

Thanks for you help, it's working now.

Thank you for your help and availability
Perhaps you would want to use our MP3 Audio Player Pro which is a standalone plugin and allow you to disable the waveform.

How convenient it is to offer one solution that cannot offer exactly the use experience expected to sell another product...
