Running Jplayer from an SSL website, but the audio files are non-SSL. Audio files do not play.

[Steve Wehr]

I run a music aggregation website, HVmusic.com, where I use Jplayer to play MP3 files that users add to their listings. About a year ago I changed my site to run SSL (https) and now I find that any MP3 files that are hosted on non-SSL websites cannot be played by jPlayer.

Here is an example of the Jplayer code...

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){        // Player instance
        $("#jplayer_1").jPlayer({
        ready: function () {
                $(this).jPlayer("setMedia", {
                        mp3: "http://somesite.com/mp3/Somefile.mp3"
                });
        },
    play: function() { // To avoid multiple jPlayers playing together.
        $(this).jPlayer("pauseOthers");
    },
        cssSelectorAncestor: "#jp_container_1",
        swfPath: "/common/licensed/jplayer",
        supplied: "mp3",
        useStateClassSkin: true
      });        // Player instance
        });
</script>

Any MP3 file hosted on non-SSL sites will not play.
Is that just the way it is? I didn't think these files were considered "part of the SSL page" but instead "links" (like anchor tags), and links from an SSL page can be to non-SSL pages.
Thanks for your help.

 SSL is blocking the returned data from the request as the data is not trusted. 

Work around is to secure the data or move the code. A tunnel between the servers on a selected port. Or mounting the insecure physical drive as a local drive on the secure server. Are possible workarounds if you have the admin
