streaming single audio to one user using wowza and flowplayer - streaming

I'm trying to develop a website with a music player in all the pages and music files for the user to select and play. When the user first selects a song in a page it plays as expected and everything is okay. But when he/she opens the website in another tab or window and selects another song it also plays while the other one is still playing.
Is there any way to play only one song even in multiple tabs or windows using wowza media server and flowplayer?

well If you look at how sites such as http://www.reverbnation.com/ do thier music player you will notice that they use a wrapper div that has something similiar to JQUERY's Load(); function. So that the player will stay static and not change its content even if you click on an href. Try looking into this http://api.jquery.com/load/ and it might solve your problem.

Making a live audio streaming webpage problem

I'm working on an project for which I would need to make a webpage with very simple interface, just consisting of several buttons. These buttons should serve as a press play/pause buttons for playing a particular live audio only stream. The streams should be played at the press of the button without any additional interface or windows popping out, essentially playing in the background. Also it would need to be possible to play more of them simultaneously. I was planning to use OBS as a streaming program.I am not a developer, but a designer, I have reached out to several wed developers with this project but all of them could only make this work with only prerecorded audio and not live audio streams.Does anyone know a solution for this problem, or at least what should I look at, it would be really helpful.
Thank You

Download streaming video - Tried lot of options

I am trying to download an online streaming video and tried a lots of websites like keepvid.com, savevid.com, clipconverter.cc file2hd.com and lots more. I tried few players too like osflv FlowPlayer Gnash OS Player etc I tried some chrome and firefox extensions like Video Download helper etc but I am unable to download.
I found few options where the live stream gets recorded and then it is downloaded but due to poor internet connection, the recorded stream quality is not good. Can someone suggest what can i use to download this video? The link asks to login, just cancel the popup without logging in, you will still get access to the video in the link below.

it is some kind of CDN or cloud or some protocol like that. I found this in my research but I am not sure.
EDIT
Ok I got a way to download it but its kind of tedious. This is what I have tried.
Open Firefox
Type the above url and press enter (dont play the video) From the
Top-Right menu, click on Developer and then click Network
Ctrl+Shift+Q is the shortcut for above
Now play the video
In the box below, you will see some activity
Now look at the "Type" column. You will see few rows where the type
is "mp2t" These are the videos that gets segregated in bits and
pieces.
If you right click the row and click on open in new tab, it gives
you an option to download
To see all the videos together, you can select "Media" from the bottom bar.
Now the issue is : How to install all the bits together and how to assemble them in one full video.
You know that kind of question isn't really for this site...
Anyhow - all the services you have tried are specifically designed to work with a stream that's already going on in the web as it were, the best way to do this would be to connect the stream to a program on your machine, rather than a browser.
I'd use VLC, connect the stream with the direct URL i.e http://someaddress/thestream.media_extension, VLC allows you to record playback to a file, so simply leave it to playback and record it.

Stream Audio off site for iOS app?

I am working with a group at developing an app that will essentially be a 'radio' app. One view that will just play whatever audio is streaming at the time, and another view or two of archives to listen to past programs. What I am working on right now is how to assemble the view to play. The site in question is on-this-rock.org and the source for playing is here
Any suggestions for how I can best go about building the player to stream in the audio, without needing the rest of the site graphics?
Thanks
The stream URL is actually:
http://s4.voscast.com:8080/
This is just a SHOUTcast stream. You can build your radio player to connect directly to it. No need for the HTML/Flash on the website itself.
You can find this easily by looking at your browser tool's network tab, or by using a tool such as Fiddler or Wireshark.

Set up a Screencast video in Drupal website

I've set up a Drupal website and would like to have video box that pops up when a user clicks a picture graphic. Sounds simple enough, but it turns out it is not straightforward in the land of Drupal, flash, codecs, and iphone...
Here's what I'd like:
User clicks a link on my Drupal website, a video box player pops up as a mini-box player for the user to watch in a PC or Mac.
For iphone users, want the ability for them to view video on iPhone (which means it can't be flash).
Here's where I am so far. I recorded a screencast using both Camtasia for Mac and Screenflow. But I don't know which format to encode the video- or how to.
I've read that JW player (long tail video) is a good player because it will play both flash and HTML (good for iPhone), but then also read that Drupal and JWplayer does do a popup video window from a link. Is that true?
So before embarking further, I'd love some input on how to proceed? Which encoding format, how to achieve pop-up video player, and have ability to play on iPhone. Of course all through a Drupal site. Btw- I would be hosting the video on Vimeo, or Amazon's cloudfront.
Thanks!
If you use the vimeo iframe code for embedding the video, you get iPhone playability for free.

playing streamed content in an app

I have a number of music tracks which I would like the user to be able to preview a small clip of each.
These tracks are on a server.
How is media streamed into the app and which player is used? Can a custom player be created to play the clips within the view, without e.g. quicktime player opening?
Thanks
If you don't want to use QuickTime, the matter is rather complex, as far as I know. Fortunately, a lot of work already has been done for you by Matt Gallagher. See this excelent post for further information. The code, that he provides works perfectly in my application.
