[sally3599]

A real device plays mp3 on website keep stopping and show MEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN!

Emulator will not stop but always show MEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN when play the 2nd mp3 in mp_Complete!

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)

    Activity.LoadLayout("Main")
   ProgressDialogShow("Loading ...")
            
   If FirstTime Then
       mp.Initialize("mp")
   End If
    
    mp.SetVolume (1, 1)
            
   mp.Load("http://website/my.mp3")

End Sub

Sub mp_Complete
    ToastMessageShow("mp Complete..." , True)
   mp.Stop
   mp.Load("http://website/my2.mp3")
   mp.Play
End Sub

Any help will be appreciate it.

In most cases such errors are related to an unsupported encoding. I recommend you to only test the streaming with a real device.

Getting MEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN and it's not a media problem

I'm getting MEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN whenever I try to use MediaPlayerStream, whether using emulator or B4A-Bridge.

I've tested the media (mp3 file) using the tutorial MediaPlayer program and it works, so its not a problem with the file.

I attach test program which uses both MediaPlayer and MediaPlayerStream to demonstrate.

Your code is wrong. You should start playing in the StreamReady event:

Sub btnStreaming_Click
  mp.Load("http://www.walkthrutime.com/audio/intro.mp3")
End Sub
Sub mp_StreamReady
   Log("ready")
   mp.Play
End Sub
