Problems streaming audio on Android 6.0.1 with mediaplayer

Question

Since I updated my phone, a Samsung S6, to Android 6.0.1, mediaPlayer have started to behave strange.

I use the MediaPlayer to stream .mp3 audio over http and it has earlier worked without any problems.

Since this update almost all audio I stream which is longer than 1:30 will be stopped too early.

Example:

05-02 20:58:11.031 3119-26787/? V/MediaPlayerService: [1952] getDuration = 377496
05-02 20:58:11.031 15611-15611/com.test.test V/MediaPlayer-JNI: getDuration: 377496 (msec)
05-02 20:58:11.031 15611-15611/com.test.test V/MediaPlayer-JNI: getCurrentPosition: 119842 (msec)
05-02 20:58:11.041 15611-15611/com.test.test V/MediaPlayer-JNI: isPlaying: 1
05-02 20:58:11.041 15611-15611/com.test.test V/MediaPlayer-JNI: isPlaying: 1
05-02 20:58:11.061 3625-4927/? V/BroadcastQueue: [background] Process cur broadcast BroadcastRecord{d8b120b u0 null qIdx=4}, state= (APP_RECEIVE) DELIVERED for app ProcessRecord{436e057 16133:com.google.android.gms.persistent/u0a11}
05-02 20:58:11.151 3625-4936/? I/ActivityManager: Killing 16021:com.samsung.android.themecenter/1000 (adj 15): DHA:empty #31
05-02 20:58:11.171 3625-4951/? D/ActivityManager: isAutoRunBlockedApp:: com.samsung.android.themecenter, Auto Run ON

05-02 20:58:11.241 3119-16903/? I/NuPlayerRenderer: onQueueEOS audio finalResult : -1011
05-02 20:58:11.371 3119-16903/? I/NuPlayerRenderer: [audio] notifyEOS() End of Stream, delayUs : 590370
05-02 20:58:11.371 3119-16903/? V/AudioSink: stop
05-02 20:58:11.681 3119-16896/? D/GenericSource: cachedDurationUs = 0.00 secs, eos=1
05-02 20:58:11.961 3119-16893/? I/NuPlayerRenderer: reachedAudioEOS (1)
05-02 20:58:11.961 3119-16893/? V/NuPlayer: reached audio EOS

As the log shows, a call to getDuration() is made (377496 ms). Directly after a call to getCurrentPosition() is made (119842 ms).

After this NuPlayer seems to detect an EOS and the OnCompletionListener is performed and the audio is stopped.

Just before I updated to Android 6, this worked without any issues.

Does anybody have an idea what's going on and how this can be prevented?

Thanks in advance.

This is getting more weird. The logic for the onCompletionListener seems to behave correct, I have discovered that the buffering seems to be the issue. The onBufferingUpdateis getting called as expected but it will never reach to 100%. Instead it stops somewhere on 33-43%. I'm performing my tests on a WiFi network so the connection should not be the issue. Testing with Android M 6.0.0 works fine, this only occurs for 6.0.1. Quite annoying, has anybody a hint? — Mikael, May 03 '16 at 06:36
Yes it is, since I need to know if there are any workarounds that can make the buffering to work properly, eg. set some specific member or such. — Mikael, May 03 '16 at 12:34
any solution? I met same problem, the media player "saw EOS" too early. — Jiang YD, Jul 18 '18 at 07:38
