MediaPlayerNative: error (1, -2147483648) when playing HTTP progressive MP3 stream

Question

I've been trying so hard to develop an Internet radio Streaming app, but all I get it some force closes or errors. Steps I've taken,

I've read the MediaPlayer Documentation here.
I've also read the already available solutions here.
I've also searched google for any solutions but found none.

Here is my code:

MainActivity:

    private Button pbutton;
    private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;

    pbutton = findViewById(R.id.button_play);
    pbutton.setEnabled(false);

    mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
    try {
        mediaPlayer.setDataSource("http://streams.abidingradio.org:7800/1");
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    mediaPlayer.prepareAsync();

    mediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
            pbutton.setEnabled(true);
        }
    });

    pbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            mediaPlayer.start();
        }
    });

Manifest:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

When I run this code, MediaPlayer is not getting prepared. And it throws the following errors: click here for the full log the main errors are:

failed to init data from source
MediaPlayerNative: error (1, -2147483648)
MediaPlayer: Error (1,-2147483648)

I've been dealing with this problem for almost three days but still haven't found a solution. I can also assure that the link of the audio stream is working perfectly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

The cause is MediaPlayer doesn't support streaming MPEGA format. Take a look into supported audio formats.

Just use one of third-party players, which are compatible with, like IjkPlayer or ExoPlayer

Thanks for your suggestion. But I don't think the issue is with the audio stream. Because, I used the same audio stream link in another sample app from GitHub and it worked fine. But when I use it here this happens. And BTW how would get to know the format of the audio stream. – Jerome Marshall Nov 21 '18 at 13:50
"in another sample app from GitHub and it worked fine" - could i have a look on sample? "And BTW how would get to know the format of the audio stream" - Just open stream in any player and see 'video details' (vlc, mediplayer classic) – Onix Nov 21 '18 at 14:03
Here is the sample that I used [link](https://github.com/googlesamples/android-MediaBrowserService/). To make it work, I just changed the dataSource to the stream link. – Jerome Marshall Nov 21 '18 at 14:21
Thank you so much @Onix. I gave ExoPlayer a try and it works! Now there are new errors like "getDiskStats failed with result NOT_SUPPORTED and size 0" but it still streams the audio. – Jerome Marshall Nov 21 '18 at 16:09

Use like this.

Declare:

Uri alarmSound_carHorn;
Ringtone ringtone_carHorn;

Initialize (onCreate):

alarmSound_carHorn = Uri.parse(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE + "://" +  getApplication().getApplicationContext().getPackageName() + "/" +  R.raw.car_horn);
ringtone_carHorn = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(getApplicationContext(),alarmSound_carHorn);

When calling:

if(ringtone_carHorn!= null && !ringtone_carHorn.isPlaying()){
    ringtone_carHorn.play();
}

I had the same error, but it was only on a few phones and I had no idea how to fix it. I ended up using ExoPlayer

player?.apply {
        val mediaItem: MediaItem = MediaItem.fromUri(url)
        setMediaItem(mediaItem)
        prepare()
        play()
}

I got the same error only when onPause -> onResume was called. It was caused by the setOnPreparedListener. Solution:

binding?.playbackVideoView?.setOnPreparedListener(null)

clear on prepared listener so it doesn't use the old mediaPlayer object
