Hi all,
I'm trying to create a simple streaming mp3 player, i've created a small project just to test the Player object and it works fine, at least for the first few seconds.
When i start() the player, I hear the music for about 10 to 15 seconds, then on the simulator logs i see this:
SMP: BUFFERING = 0
and suddenly the music stops and my PlayerListener object receives the "BUFFERING_STARTED" message.
After that It does not receive anything and I'm unable to resume the playing.
Here is my code:
...
try {
System.out.println("Initializing Player...");
p = Manager.createPlayer("http://server.com/music.mp3;deviceside=true");
p.addPlayerListener(this);
System.out.println("Setting Loop Count...");
p.setLoopCount(-1);
System.out.println("Starting Player...");
p.start();
System.out.println("Player started!");
} catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println("1 - Player IOException!" + ioe.getMessage());
} catch (MediaException e) {
System.out.println("2 - Player MediaException!" + e.getMessage());
}
Tha API documentation for MMAPI says that the BUFFERING_STARTED is "Posted when the Player enters into a buffering mode.", as far as I know it should resume the playing from when it stopped once the buffering has completed, but the buffering seems to never complete, it just hangs in BUFFERING_STARTED!
This problem happens only if I stream an mp3 from a remote server, I installed apache2 on my machine and from there the streaming works perfectly!
Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help!
