Android Streaming With Mediaplayer: Error(1, -1004) And 3gpp Video

I'm trying to do an app for play video. I've 2 problems: 1) I've a Youtube's link: rtsp:// and i do: 'Uri myUri = Uri.parse(link); //link = rtsp://... mMediaPlayer.setDataSource(ge

Solution 1:

1)try without static constructor 2)create a mp object with standard constructor, Try using setDataSource(), prepareAsync() etc. 3)Catch null and illegal state exceptions.

There are some bugs & limitations with MediaPlayer api.

Please ignore isCanceleld() in my sample code.

sample code:

if (mp == null && isCancelled() != true) {
                    mp = new MediaPlayer();
                    mp.setDataSource(chnlUrlParam);
                    mp.prepareAsync();
                    mp.start();

// Log.d("doInBackground", "mp.getCurrentPosition() after mp.start() "+ mp.getCurrentPosition()); // Log.d("doInBackground","mp.getDuration() after mp.start() " + mp.getDuration()); mp.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(new OnBufferingUpdateListener() {

@OverridepublicvoidonBufferingUpdate(MediaPlayer mp,
                                int percent) {
                            Log.d("TAG_Async", "percent: " + percent);
                        }
                    });

                }

                if (mp == null) {
                    Log.d(TAG_Async,"### Failed to create media player from static constructor ###");
                }

Solution 2:

Actually there is an error is streaming url error due to which this problem exists.. otherwise it works well in videoview.

you have to add youtube signature after the url.

I worked on that and it works perfectly.
