get JSON from JSONP response

Question

I'm trying to get json from url which return JSONP response like this :

A_string_Blalblalbla(JSON_Content)

So I've tried to serialize my response but I get :

JSON text did not start with array or object and option to allow fragments not set.

And here's my code :

 AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
    manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];

//manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializerWithReadingOptions:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments];
    [manager GET:@"http://miraath.ddns.net:2199/external/rpc.php?callback=jsonp1436888493343&_=1436888517235&m=streaminfo.get&username=miraath1&charset=&mountpoint=&rid=miraath1" parameters:nil success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);
    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
    }];

Also I tried to change acceptable content to text :

 manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [NSSet setWithObject:@"text/plain"];

But I get this error :

NSLocalizedDescription=Request failed: unacceptable content-type: text/javascript

So any help over here how to extract the json from response

Removing the callback variable from the URI string gets you a clean JSON response: http://miraath.ddns.net:2199/external/rpc.php?_=1436888517235&m=streaminfo.get&username=miraath1&charset=&mountpoint=&rid=miraath1
