Hello, We are streaming audio via http from ffserver/ffmpeg on Angstrom Linux. The ffmpeg audio codec is PCM signed 16-bit little endian "pcm_s16le". The ffmpeg stream format is "wav". Both of these are claimed to be supported on Android here: http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html#core
VLC finds and plays the stream without any problems. Under VLC "Codec Details", it says: Type: Audio, Codec: PCM S16 LE (araw) Channels: Stereo Sample rate: 48000 Hz Bits per sample: 16 We built the simple test application below to pick up and play the stream in Android and get this error: java.io.IOException: Prepare failed.: status=0x1 We checked the HTTP header using HTTP Debugger Pro. The Response Header items (when playing normally via VLC) are: [Response]: HTTP/1.0 200 OK Pragma: no-cache Content-Type: audio/x-wav We have been searching the web for help on this issue for over two days and have come up empty-handed. Any help would be *greatly* appreciated. Thanks, Neville ------------TEST APP------------------------ package com.shaneahern.streamtest; import java.io.IOException; import android.app.Activity; import android.media.AudioManager; import android.media.MediaPlayer; import android.os.Bundle; import android.util.Log; public class BareBonesStreamTestActivity extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); String streamUrl = "http://192.168.24.123:8080/test.wav"; MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); Log.i("BareBonesStreamTestActivity", "MediaPlayer created"); try { mp.setDataSource(streamUrl); Log.i("BareBonesStreamTestActivity", "setDataSource to " + streamUrl); mp.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC); Log.i("BareBonesStreamTestActivity", "setAudioStreamType to AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC"); mp.prepare(); Log.i("BareBonesStreamTestActivity", "prepare succeeded, calling start"); mp.start(); } catch (IllegalStateException e) { Log.i("BareBonesStreamTestActivity", "prepare failed with IllegalStateException"); e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { Log.i("BareBonesStreamTestActivity", "prepare failed with IOException"); e.printStackTrace(); } } } ------------ERROR LOG------------------------ I/BareBonesStreamTestActivity( 727): MediaPlayer created I/StagefrightPlayer( 33): setDataSource('http://192.168.24.123:8080/ test.wav') I/BareBonesStreamTestActivity( 727): setDataSource to http://192.168.24.123:8080/test.wav I/BareBonesStreamTestActivity( 727): setAudioStreamType to AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC E/MediaPlayer( 727): error (1, -2147483648) I/BareBonesStreamTestActivity( 727): prepare failed with IOException W/System.err( 727): java.io.IOException: Prepare failed.: status=0x1 W/System.err( 727): at android.media.MediaPlayer.prepare(Native Method) W/System.err( 727): at com.shaneahern.streamtest.BareBonesStreamTestActivity.onCreate(BareBonesStr eamTestActivity.java: 30) W/System.err( 727): at android.app.Instrumentation.callActivityOnCreate(Instrumentation.java: 1047) W/System.err( 727): at android.app.ActivityThread.performLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java: 2627) W/System.err( 727): at android.app.ActivityThread.handleLaunchActivity(ActivityThread.java: 2679) W/System.err( 727): at android.app.ActivityThread.access $2300(ActivityThread.java:125) W/System.err( 727): at android.app.ActivityThread $H.handleMessage(ActivityThread.java:2033) W/System.err( 727): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:99) W/System.err( 727): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:123) W/System.err( 727): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:4627) W/System.err( 727): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) W/System.err( 727): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:521) W/System.err( 727): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit $MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:868) W/System.err( 727): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:626) W/System.err( 727): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
