MediaPlayerNative: error (1, -2147483648) when playing HTTP progressive MP3 stream

Question

I've been trying so hard to develop an Internet radio Streaming app, but all I get it some force closes or errors. Steps I've taken,

• I've read the MediaPlayer Documentation here.
• I've also read the already available solutions here.
• I've also searched google for any solutions but found none.

Here is my code:

MainActivity:

    private Button pbutton;
    private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;

    pbutton = findViewById(R.id.button_play);
    pbutton.setEnabled(false);

    mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
    try {
        mediaPlayer.setDataSource("http://streams.abidingradio.org:7800/1");
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();

    mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
            pbutton.setEnabled(true);
        }
    });

    pbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            mediaPlayer.start();
        }
    });

Manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

When I run this code, MediaPlayer is not getting prepared. And it throws the following errors: click here for the full log the main errors are:

failed to init data from source
MediaPlayerNative: error (1, -2147483648)
MediaPlayer: Error (1,-2147483648)

I've been dealing with this problem for almost three days but still haven't found a solution. I can also assure that the link of the audio stream is working perfectly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

Answer 1

The cause is MediaPlayer doesn't support streaming MPEGA format. Take a look into supported audio formats.

Just use one of third-party players, which are compatible with, like IjkPlayer or ExoPlayer
