I am trying to play media from LocalSocket using MediaPlayer. The stream is of type MPEG-TS, which is availale in a LocalSocket input stream
Following code tries to setDataSource to the FileDescriptor of LocalSocket, but failes.
LocalSocket wsIns = fileThread.getReadSocket();
p = new MediaPlayer();
p.setDisplay(holder);
FileDescriptor fd = wsIns.getFileDescriptor();
Log.e("TS","is valid ? "+fd.valid());
p.setDataSource(fd ,0, fileThread.getLength());
setDataSource fails with following exception.
10-13 17:21:31.510: W/System.err(6472): java.io.IOException: setDataSourceFD failed.: status=0x80000000
10-13 17:21:31.510: W/System.err(6472): at android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(Native Method)
10-13 17:21:31.510: W/System.err(6472): at com.example.test.TSRenderActivity.surfaceCreated(TSRenderActivity.java:94)
The debug logs suggest that the error is primarily due to this, where fstat on the LocalSocket's file descriptor returns size of the file as 0.
But if I try wsIns.getInputStream().available() this api gives non zero number of bytes available.
Note :
The same error on using p.setDataSource(fp);
