audio/mpeg vs audio/mpeg3
#1
I'm relatively new to xbmc. I've noticed though that playing audio in a browser (served by xbmc using the chorus add-on) is hit or miss. Some firefox installations say that audio/mpeg3 isn't supported. I've tried to chase this down, and apparently audio/mpeg3 is not an official mime-type, and that audio/mpeg is what "should" be used. This seems to be supported by rfc3003: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3003

Is there a reason not to have xbmc advertise mp3's as audio/mpeg rather than audio/mpeg3 as it now does? My impression is this would clear up the problem.

It looks like this is a one-character deletion in Mime.cpp

I made the change of mpeg3 to mpeg in Mime.cpp, and rebuilt xbmc. It seems to work as expected. Firefox will now play mp3 files from the xbmc web interface.

I haven't run across any problems introduced.
