Android :: Audio Files Return 0 From MediaPlayer.getDuration()

Apr 8, 2009

Some audio files return 0 from MediaPlayer.getDuration(), even though they're perfectly valid files that play ok and that players on Windows can find the duration of. There seem to be two different cases here: certain file types such as .wma and .wav always return 0 duration, and others only do so sometimes. I haven't been able to find any pattern in the latter case, but it does seem consistent per file. The music player displays 0:00 duration for these, so it's not just my code.

Android :: Streaming Audio From URL Using MediaPlayer?

Dec 27, 2009

I've been trying to stream mp3's over http using Android's built in MediaPlayer class. The documentation would suggest to me that this should be as easy as :

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.setDataSource(URL_OF_FILE);
mp.prepare();
mp.start();

However I am getting the following repeatedly. I have tried different URLs as well. Please don't tell me that streaming doesn't work on mp3's.

E/PlayerDriver( 31): Command PLAYER_SET_DATA_SOURCE completed with an error or info PVMFErrNotSupported
W/PlayerDriver( 31): PVMFInfoErrorHandlingComplete
E/MediaPlayer( 198): error (1, -4)
E/MediaPlayer( 198): start called in state 0
E/MediaPlayer( 198): error (-38, 0)
E/MediaPlayer( 198): Error (1,-4)

Android :: Playing Audio Stream Not Working Using MediaPlayer

Nov 27, 2009

I am trying to make a very simple radio player for Android and I cannot get the audio streaming to work. In my latest attempt it plays for about 1 second and stops for some streams and it doesnt work at all for some other streams. Logcat doesn't give much useful information to me. I am testing on HTC Hero (Android 1.5).

If I hook the completion and buffer events I see the audio gets a complete event but it keeps buffering. Is there anything wrong with the code below? Should I be able to stream the the audio streams below? Is there a complete example somewhere of a working radio streaming?................

Feb 8, 2010

I want to create an Android application that is a client for an Internet radio station. And I want it look native to Android? But im confused with Android API logic and documentation.

Especially, I'm very interested how to use MediaPlayer and MediaController classes together.

UPD:

Finally I've got the code, that does exactly what I want:

Android :: Correctly Set MediaPlayer Audio Stream Type

Aug 21, 2010

I'm trying to create a way to adjust volume settings for each of the different streams (media, notification, ringtone, etc) and have a way to preview the output sound level of each stream. I believe I have the correct implementation, but when I set the output stream type, there is no sound that plays.

Here is the code that correctly plays the user's selected alarm sound:

CODE:.................

That commented out line is what is causing me problems. I would like to hear the alarm sound at the volume levels of the different audio streams, but when I include that line for STREAM_ALARM or any other audio stream, no sound at all plays.

Android :: MediaPlayer Provides Wrong Duration On Audio Streaming

May 27, 2010

I am having the following problem: I am using Android's MediaPlayer to play an mp3 through an HTTP connection. The audio is played correctly, but the MediaPlayer returns an incorrect duration (calling mediaPlayer.getDuration() ). Depending on the mp3 the duration is either shorter or longer. The code that plays the audio is the following:

mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer(); mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this); mediaPlayer.setOnErrorListener(this); mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this); mediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this); mediaPlayer.setDataSource("a valid URL"); mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC); mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();............................

Android :: Mediaplayer - Stop Button And That Stops Audio From Playing

Nov 18, 2009

I have a activity which is called from another activity as an intent... This activity loads and starts playing a audio file. All is good - that much works. The activity also has a "stop" button and that stops the audio from playing - that is also fine.

But how do I stop the file from playing if the user uses the back button to leave the activity without clicking on the "Stop" button?

Android :: Need To Use MediaPlayer - Multiple Sound Files

Mar 10, 2010

I need to use MediaPlayer to play some sounds, as they were too large in size for the SoundPool class.

The constructor takes a single sound file. I have, potentially, around 20 files that I want to play, randomly and instantly, like sounds in a game.

Do I have to create a new MediaPlayer object for each sound? i.e...

MediaPlayer mp1 = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound1); MediaPlayer mp2 = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound2); MediaPlayer mp3 = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound3); MediaPlayer mp4 = MediaPlayer.create(context, R.raw.sound4);

That seems expensive...

Android :: Mp3 Files <=0.34 Secs Not Playing On Droid X Using MediaPlayer

Jul 16, 2010

Getting reports that mp3 files <= 0.34 secs in length, are not played (or, at least, inaudible) on the Droid X. Works fine on other devices I've tried (e.g. Nexus One, Hero, G1)

All files longer than 0.34 secs are working fine. I've tested this with about 100 files (mixture of short and long) and the correlation is 100%.

Android :: MediaPlayer.start - Doesnot Work Fine After Calling MediaPlayer.seekTo - 0

Apr 27, 2009

I have a requirement to play several sounds many times in my game so instead of creating the MediaPlayer again and again I have called mp.seekTo(0) in onCompletion(mp) so that it will restart. Sometimes the sound is not audible from the device when I call mp.start () after setting mp.seekTo(0); but the player calls onCompletion() without playing any sound, this is observed randomly on most of the sounds

My sounds are of short duration mostly less than a second.

I am using a separate MediaPlayer for each sound (as I need this) -

There are almost 28 sounds in my game so i will be creating 28 MediaPlayers.

Below is the attached code for player

Also If I try to play many sounds one after the other in a short period of time i get an error saying "no more track names available". can u tell Why this is happening...?

check the below code:

Android :: AMR Audio Files To WAV/MP3

Jan 20, 2010

I've recorded audio in my Android application in its AMR format and I'd like to convert these to something that I can more easily use, such as WAV or MP3.

I've found some online instructions for this, for instance: http://www.aquarionics.com/2004/08/04/how_to_convert_amr_files_to_mp3/

which say to start with the 3GPP reference solutions to convert AMR to WAV, and then use sox and lame from there.

I compiled this code and tried to convert my AMR file, but it seg faults. I think this is because Android's AMR files are wrapped in a 3GP container. There is some code online about how to unwrap the AMR files (http://www.benmccann.com/dev-blog/extracting-amr-audio-from-android-3gp-files/), but I can't seem to get it to work and it seems like a lot of extra trouble just to get the audio from these files.

Android :: How To Play Audio Files One After Other

Jul 20, 2010

I have multiple audio files in the assets directory of my application. When the user clicks a button I want to play those files in a certain order, one after the other. There shouldn't be any noticeable lag between the audio files. What is the best approach to achieve this? I am thinking of using MediaPlayer objects and OnCompletionListeners. But, that would mean I have to create a lot of OnCompletionListeners because I need to know every time which audio file is next. Am I missing something or is there a better approach?

Android :: Store Audio Files For Use In Application?

Oct 14, 2010

I've created an application which uses around 15 small audio files. Right now I'm using mp3 files and each is around 200KB. These files are stored in my res/raw directory. I'm using SoundPool class to play the files in my application. I'm hoping to put this application on the android market place. Can one of you suggest what is the best way to store so many audio files? Will my application be scalable? Is wav or ogg format better approach instead of mp3? Please let me know.

Android : How To Get Data About All Audio Files In Device Using MediaAudio

May 4, 2010

I've been trying to understand how to get data about all the audio files in the device using MediaAudio but unfortunately the documentation is far from clear. Also, there´s almost nothing about it on the forum right now and I couldn´t find good resources over the internet.

I´ve seen pretty quick and objective examples on how to access the main information from the containers but I couldn´t find in any place how I could get the names of the tracks (MediaStore.Audio.AudioColumns doesn´t have an specific constant for it) and the most important, how I could retrieve the path for the media (audio file in this case) I´ve found using the info on MusicStore.Audio.

am I missing something here? It seems it should be so easy but I can´t find the info! Also if I change any data on the container, will this data be also changed in the real file as well?
