Android Question MediaPlayerStream - correct way of writing path to file on server

[hgperli]

hi,

I'm having difficulties in streaming a mp3 file from my server using the mediaplayerstream.
in my network, the server has the address 192.168.178.25, also called nasc0d5d5.
When using SBM, I'm successful in listing all files of a path in the server with
Sub Process_Globals
Dim MP3_Server As SMB
End Sub
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
MP3_Server.Initialize("MP3_Server")
MP3_Server.ListFiles("smb://192.168.178.25/public/.../","*")
end sub

however no success (instead an error message) when trying the same and mediaplayerstream (essential code below); I'd be greatful for any idea/help/solution.

Sub Process_Globals
Dim MP3_Server As SMB
Dim MinMP3_Player As MediaPlayerStream
End Sub
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
MP3_Server.Initialize("MP3_Server")
MinMP3_Player.Initialize("MinMP3_Player")
MinMP3_Player.Load("smb://192.168.178.25/public/.../<any_mp3_file>.mp3")
End Sub
Sub MinMP3_Player_StreamReady
MinMP3_Player.Play
End Sub

you need to download the file to your device from smb first. Then you can play it from local (your Device). The SMB-Lib does not support this i believe. for ex. a File.Exists("smb://192.168.178.25/public/.../<any_mp3_file>.mp3") will not work either.

That's correct. You will need to run a http server if you want to stream audio files with MediaPlayerStream.
