Hi everyone,
I am having the following problem: I am using Android's MediaPlayer to
play an mp3 through an HTTP connection. The audio is played correctly, but
the MediaPlayer returns an incorrect duration (calling
mediaPlayer.getDuration() ). Depending on the mp3 the duration is either
shorter or longer.
The code that plays the audio is the following:
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(this);
mediaPlayer.setOnErrorListener(this);
mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
mediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(this);
mediaPlayer.setDataSource("a valid URL");
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();
The strange part is that I can reproduce the problem using the default
android's music player. If I access the file directly with Android's
browser, a simple music player opens up and it show the same wrong duration.
If I copy the mp3 directly to the phone and play it directly from there,
then it shows the correct duration.
The server returns this response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 27 May 2010 20:59:48 GMT
Content-Type: audio/mpeg
Server: aaaaaa
Content-Encoding: gzip
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Does anyone has a similar problem? Or can anyone give me a clue about what
I might be missing to add so the MediaPlayer can fetch the correct duration?
Thanks in advance :)
