On a variety of Handsets (9700, 9800, 9520, 9550,etc.) I am having a problem with my dataSource/sourceStream. I am streaming discrete aac/mp4 files to the media player. My streaming content is not the problem.
With my stream I do the following:
Create an HttpConnection with the URL of the content.
Get the length with httpConnection.getLength();
Open an InputStream on the httpConnection
Then in my implementation of read() I read that inputstream.
About 50% of the time, the input stream read completes (returns -1) with having only downloaded ~70% of the file. As a result the media player overruns the buffer and treats it as an EOF because it does not think there is anymore content.
There are no errors being reported at all.
The content being streamed is not the problem. I never see this on very old BBs like the 8110 and on my Android use of the same content stream. Also, it is inconsistent, as in two devices that have this problem don't fail on the same piece of content.
The simplest solution I can think of is to reconnect to the content when the media player reaches the EOF and the full content has not been downloaded. How can I do this? I want to be able to pick up playback where the download had stopped.
Are there other solutions that people have used for this problem?
