Question

I get the following error

12-15 16:54:37.125: ERROR/MediaPlayer(6032): error (-2147483648, 0)

when trying to execute this code in a service:

MediaPlayer mp = null;

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    if (mp == null) {
        mp = new MediaPlayer();
    }
}

@Override
public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
    if (!mp.isPlaying()) {
        Log.d(DEBUG_TAG, "Not playing, starting stream...");
        try {
            mp.setDataSource(getString(R.string.address_p3));
            mp.prepare(); 
        } catch (IOException e) {}

        mp.start();
    } else { 
        Log.d(DEBUG_TAG, "Playing, pausing stream...");
        try { mp.pause(); } 
        catch (Exception e) {} 
    }
}

When the service is first called and no MediaPlayer-object exists, the stream is started correctly.

But when the onStart()-method is called again (with the player streaming) I get the above error code.

I can t find any information about this error code, so I turn to you for help. Replacing mp.pause() with mp.stop() makes it work.

Could it be that the stream does not support pausing? It s an online radio stream (RTSP) in the SDP format.

Answer 1

I have read this tutorial about the bloggers custom StreamingMediaPlayer class for Android, in the tutorial he talks about how he accomplishes pausing a stream.

This could be helpful for you, if it doesn t solve what you need at least it gives you another perspective on how to achieve such a task.
