B4J Question playing (streaming) a remote mp3 file in b4j

[valentino s]

I've found some infos on mediaview and mediaplayer to play mp3 files.

However I should play, without a complete download, a remote file in mp3, under http or https.

I've tried also with webview, but doesn't support mp3 (I received an alert from a website that recognized that my webview doesn't support mp3).

What's the best method to play (stream) a remote mp3, ogg, m4a ... etc files ? Using vlc ?

Sorry, I didn't find infos on the guides neither in the forum.

You can use MediaPlayer for that. Just pass the URL to the initialize method.

Stupid me, i always look for a player like ios. So, it is very similar to android, where i need to initialize, manage a play pause stop button, position with timer and manual change by a slider, and so on. thanks, and sorry for the very stupid question

If I use the MediaPlayer with a Url, I get a error message.
My code is:

Dim mp As MediaPlayer
mp.Initialize("mp", "http://www.antenne.de/webradio/antenne.m3u")
mp.Play

Error-Message:
