Unexplained error from MediaPlayer

Sir^Knigget · by **Sir^Knigget** » Sun Feb 21, 2010 2:32 pm

My code tries to play an MP3 file from res/raw.

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

FileDescriptor fd = appContext.getResources().openRawResourceFd(R.raw.ringtone)
 
                                        .getFileDescriptor();
 
player = new MediaPlayer();
 
                        try
 
                        {
 
                                player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_RING);
 
                                player.setDataSource(fd);
 
                                player.prepare();                       
 
                        }
 
                        catch (IllegalArgumentException e)
 
                        {
 
                                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 
                                e.printStackTrace();
 
                                player = null;
 
                                return;
 
                        }
 
                        catch (IllegalStateException e)
 
                        {
 
                                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 
                                e.printStackTrace();
 
                                player = null;
 
                                return;
 
                        }
 
                        catch (IOException e)
 
                        {
 
                                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 
                                e.printStackTrace();
 
                                player = null;
 
                                return;
 
                        }
 
                        player.setLooping(true);
 
                        player.start();
 
Parsed in 0.033 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

The log shows:

02-21 15:18:18.360: ERROR/PlayerDriver(51): Command PLAYER_SET_DATA_SOURCE completed with an error or info PVMFErrNotSupported
02-21 15:18:18.380: ERROR/MediaPlayer(693): error (1, -4)
02-21 15:18:18.390: WARN/PlayerDriver(51): PVMFInfoErrorHandlingComplete

After player.prepare() is called.

I really don't have a hint.
I won't use MediaPlayer.create() because I need player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_RING);

Would appreciate any help on this...

R.raw.ringtone is it mp3?
Try to use setDataSource(FileDescriptor, long, long) method ( http://developer.android.com/reference/ ... %20long%29 ).

Hi,
I'm using setDataSource("http://somesite//music.ogg"); to play an online .ogg file.
Doesn't work.

I tried the same with an mp3 file,and it works. I can play .ogg files from my sdcard and from a resource file.

But with .ogg stream, it says
Media Player Service error -2
Media Player Unable to create media player

the error is - setDataSource failed. status=0x80000000 and an IOException is thrown.

the error -2 corresponds to ERROR_OPEN_FAILED. :shock:

I'm currently looking into the android source code to figure out the exact flow of operations.Any ideas as to why an ogg stream can't be accessed and how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance
