Stream shoutcast on HTTPS site from a different HTTP streaming server

Question

Up until several weeks ago I was able to stream icecast and shoutcast on my HTTPS site. This would create a "mixed content" warning but was never explicitly blocked.

Now I find that chrome is forcing the http://streaminglink urls to load https://streaminglink and I can't access the http audio anymore.

Here is a code example in jPlayer

$("#jquery_jplayer").jPlayer("setMedia", {      
                mp3:"http://149.202.79.68:8213/stream.mp3" 
});

I expect chrome to load the http url but instead it is looking for the https and I get the following error in the console:

GET https://149.202.79.68:8213/stream.mp3 net::ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED

NOTE
The https ^ - that's not coming from my code or configuration... =/

Answer 1

So it looks like this is default behavior for Chrome since 79. https://www.engadget.com/2019/10/04/chrome-security-block-http-content/

Broke my site. Thanks Google.

Answer 2

you can now allow insecure content in the specific site settings

chrome://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2F<SITE_DOMAIN>
