mp3 streaming on iphone & ipad (IOS) using HLS VOD through the web

Hi,

I have some trouble getting mp3 streaming working through HLS VOD. Read on some post that mp3 streaming is not supported on hls and need to convert to AAC or M4A format  which i did.

To stream video on IOS i use this url : http://localhost:8134/hls_vod/video.mp4.m3u8

<video controls class="videoplayer" width="400" height="229" style="background-color: black">   <source src="http://localhost:8134/hls-vod/video.mp4.m3u8"   type="application/x-mpegURL">   This browser does not support the video tag. </video>

but this does not work for audio: http://localhost:8134/hls_vod/music.m4a.m3u8

<audio id="audioplayer" controls style="background: black">   <source src="http://localhost:8134/hls_vod/music.m4a.m3u8">   This browser does not support the audio tag. </audio>

Can anyone please help.

Thanks,

Shameem
