Stream MP3 from HTTPS

[PaoloRondot]

Hi,

I am able to play music from http with the default address given in the lib example http://kvbstreams.dyndns.org:8000/wkvi-am, but I noticed that whenver I try to play from an HTTPS address, such as https://www.liveradio.es/http://cdn.nrjaudio.fm/audio1/fr/30201/mp3_128.mp3, it doesn't work and I get the MP3 source file not open from the AudioGeneratorMP3::begin(AudioFileSource *source, AudioOutput *output).

My question is, is it actually possible to stream from HTTPS ? Do I have to make some changes in the code ?

Many thanks.
Paolo.

I just noticed that this question had already been answered: there's not enough memory on the ESP8266 to stream from HTTPS. Is that still right ?

There's no fixing the lack of memory for HTTPS streaming on the 8266, sorry. The buffers and stack space needed for HTTPS means there's way less free memory for MP3 decode than is needed.
