Re: [android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer suddenly stopped working in Android 4.2
Starting in Android 4.2, processes may have different views of the
filesystem depending on which user they're running as. For example,
/sdcard/foo.mp3 could refer to different files for different users.
To correctly disambiguate filesystem paths, you'll need to open the
file in your app process and pass the FileDescriptor to the
mediaserver (which is shared between all users on a device).
Something like this should work:
MediaPlayer player;
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(myFile);
try {
player.setDataSource(fis.getFD());
} finally {
fis.close();
}
It sounds like the setDataSource(String path) method needs to be
fixed; tracking in 7962739.

That error is most definitely a path problem which I need to retest and make
sure I didn't introduce with my own hacking :)
I *do* know that what was working in 4.1.1 does not work in 4.2.1.
FYI - I'm also now seeing error 19, which is Error due to general port
processing whatever that means.

Re: [android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer suddenly stopped working in Android 4.2
I'm actually using a dynamically generated path based on what the OS says is
the user's partition, so it's unlikely that the path is incorrect.
What i discovered is that the MediaPlayer refuses to play a file in a custom
directory under the apps external directory, but will play it if I put it in
the cache dir. The difference between he two is minimal. e.g.
This *will not* work:
external/Android/data/my.package.name/custom/audio
This *will* work:
external/Android/data/my.package.name/cache/audio
The only difference is the private directory (that is still world readable) at
the same level in the same parent directory.
Personally I think limiting the audio source for the MediaPlayer like that is
broken in the first place, but this seems to be an issue that doesn't match
what the documentation says.

So, for all of you paying attention to this thread or having a similar issues with MediaPlayer. It appears that the MediaPlayer is picky about what directly the files are stored in.

I can try that.

[android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer suddenly stopped working in Android 4.2
I have now verified this same error pops up on a Nexus 10 as well... so now we've got it happening on all three (Nexus 4, 7, 10), which is a pretty good indication that it's a problem in the MediaPlayer in Android 4.2.x. This really needs the attention of a google engineer. Apparently I'm not the only one seeing this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8236095/android-mediaplayer-mediaplayer658-error-1-2147483648 I'm about to do some tests to see if its relate to the encoding of the MP3 file, however it it worked in android 4.1 it should also work in android 4.2. - Brill Pappin On Thursday, February 14, 2013 12:38:22 PM UTC-5, Brill Pappin wrote: I've been working on an app that plays MP3 files and have started with out with the lowest supported android version and working upward toward JB.

The only suggestions I've found so far are to do with permissions, but unless they have changed radically for external storage, the MediaPlayer should have permission to read the files. Here is some relevant information. Notice there is no stack trace, just a message printed out.

[android-developers] Re: MediaPlayer suddenly stopped working in Android 4.2
The emulated directory you see in the pathname doesn't mean he is using the emulator. This directory structure was modified in API 17 due to the addition of multiuser support. I'm having the same problem... trying to figure it out now. On Thursday, February 14, 2013 3:46:37 PM UTC-5, bob wrote: Have you tried it on a real device or just the emulator?
