Hi there,

Dave Rodriguez and me did spend a bit of time on this.

For jPlayer to work with browsers on Android newer than 2.3, the stream must have different headers.

From this and this stackoverflow answers, we came to this solution

<?php
$path       = __DIR__ . 'tracks/track.mp3';
$fileSize   = filesize($path);
$strContext = stream_context_create(
   array(
       'http'=>array(
       'method'=>'GET',
       'header'=>"Accept-language: en\r\n"
       )
   )
);

header('Accept-Ranges:    none');
header('Cache-Control:    no-cache');
header('Content-type: audio/mpeg');
header('Pragma:    no-cache');

$userAgent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

if (is_int(strpos($userAgent, 'Android')) && !is_int(strpos($userAgent, 'Android 2')))
{
    header('Transfer-Encoding:    none');
    header('Connection:    close');
}
else
{
header('Content-Length:    ' . $fileSize);
}

$fpOrigin = fopen($path, 'rb', false, $strContext);
while(!feof($fpOrigin)){
    $buffer = fread($fpOrigin, 4096);
    echo $buffer;
    flush();
}
fclose($fpOrigin);
exit;

Hope this helps somebody!

All the best
Dom
