Android Question Javascript doesn't work right for a url

[cbanks]

When I load the following url in a webview it displays a message saying there was an error instead of showing the controls to play the music. Anyone know how to get it to load correctly in a webview?

Music Stream

www.churchofjesuschrist.org

Sub Globals
    Dim WebView1 As WebView
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    WebView1.Initialize("WebView1_Click")
    Activity.LoadLayout("WebView")
    WebView1.LoadURL("https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/media/radio/music-stream?lang=eng")
End Sub

this has nothing to do with javascript.

webview is not a replacement for your default browser.

if you look at the page in the developer tab of your desktop browser, you will see a number of errors. the biggest one has to do with a page that has been loaded using https loading other resources using http. there also appears to be some kind of login required. that one throws an error. while chrome may tend to gloss over such issues, webview (since it is not chrome and not meant to be used as a replacement for chrome) appears not to.

am attaching a screen cap from my desktop browser showing some of the errors.

if you can figure out what the deal is with the login, you might be able to get the thing to work, since that was the only statement which actually appears to throw an error.

unsolicited hint: if you know what you're doing, it might be possible to bypass that whole introduction page and go right to the music (i'm guessing that's what you're after). in many cases, the source of the media can be sitting in plain sight if you're comfortable combing through a webpage's source

here are the errors reported by the webview:

** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
** Activity (main) Resume **
Uncaught (in promise) auth not supported in https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/api/dozr/authentication.js (Line: 7)

they're basically the same as what the desktop browser reports.

here, for example, is a link to some musical number:
https://nmcdn-lds.msvdn.net/icecastRelay/101157/V2Pm3WE/icecast?rnd=637109879429639917

plays on my webview. just key in the url above.

i'm not saying everything jumps right out at you, but it only took a few seconds to find this number (at random). you could make a nice career out of scraping the main site for music and produce your own mix.
