Error Setting Data Source

So I keep getting this error :

Since there is nothing wrong with the path there has to be something wrong with how I am setting up the MediaPlayer. It works the first time, but when I try and play a different song I get this error.

Code for ending MediaPlayer:

        mp.stop();
        mp.release();

Code for starting:

        mp.setDataSource(currentSongPath);//Error is here
        mp.setVolume(100f, 100f);

        mp.prepare();
        Random mpRandom = new Random(27);
        int maxDur = mp.getDuration() - 30000;
        mpStartPos = mpRandom.nextInt(maxDur);
        mp.seekTo(mpStartPos);
        Log.i("My Music Test","Initializing: Start Pos - " + mpStartPos);
        mp.start();

I have been coding for about 6 hours straight now so most likely I am missing something really stupid.

Thanks

Solution

  • After calling release() the object is not available again. Are you calling a new MediaPlayer before setting data source?
