ESP-32S with VS1003 does not play aac Stream

Other Hardware Audio
1

Hello everyone,
Im not experienced in programming with the ESP32, so excuse me if this question might be stupid.
Im trying to build a Webradio using ESP-32S with VS1003 an im trying to get the following stream to run:
https://digitalstreams.mediaworks.nz/rock_net_icy?Dist=TuneIn
Im using https://github.com/CelliesProjects/ESP32_VS1053_Stream,
but I also tried https://github.com/schreibfaul1/ESP32-vs1053_ext.
It seems to be an AAC stream, but everytime im trying to start it, it directly goes to end of Stream:

12:40:38.387 -> wifi connected - starting decoder
12:40:42.124 -> decoder running - starting stream
12:40:45.623 -> codec: AAC
12:40:45.666 -> bitrate: 194kbps
12:40:45.697 -> streamtitle: RK DIGITAL LINER C ROVA HD - 00:00:03.490
12:40:45.887 -> eof: https://digitalstreams.mediaworks.nz/rock_net_icy?Dist=TuneIn

There is also a m3u8 stream available, but this isnt working either:
https://digitalstreams.mediaworks.nz/rock_net/playlist.m3u8

Can anyone help me?
Other Streams (mp3) are working properly

Your device will probably play aac files your problem is most likely being unable to connect to the server, both the links you say won't play are hosted on the Amazon Cloudfront server.

That is the limit of my knowledge about servers so I can't say whether there is a way to connect or not.

I have a sketch that allows me to play various files from a SD card to a vs1053 using a Nano ESP32 and I know the aac format works in that situation.

I moved your topic to a more appropriate forum category @xdrgizsdg.

The Nano ESP32 category you chose is only used for discussions directly related to the Arduino Nano ESP32 board.

In the future, please take the time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your question. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Thank you for your answer!
This might be the case, if so theres nothing I can do.
But when I tried to play the m3u8 using https://github.com/schreibfaul1/ESP32-vs1053_ext,
I got the following error:

I wonder if it has something to do with the missing PSRAM.
Because the station I tried to stream is in the actual example of the Git Repository, so it should work :thinking:

I have a channel list and looking at it all the url's link to mp3 streams, this is fine for me, the quality is very good especially listening through a wired headset or over BLE. Occasionally if the connection gets flaky at my end or the server end, packets will get dropped and I get a "click" every so often but usually I can listen for hours without an issue.

I've looked at PSRAM briefly but not implemented it with anything yet, maybe your example is using it for the stream buffer, I created my own ring buffer there was plenty of room for it on the nano.
