I'm running into the same issue. I've even tried the mp.prepareAsync() method but it fails when I call mp.start(). This is because it is trying to load the whole file into memory I'm guessing. Since a URL stream is usually 24/7 it will never prepare. The closest thing I've come to is this: http://whyandroid.com/android/92-android-tutorial-3-custom-media-streaming-with-mediaplayer.html The basic idea here is to play chunks of the file at a time as you download them. The problem with this tutorial is it points to a single file that has a file size and will eventually be all downloaded. I'm trying to play a 24/7 stream so I've been modifying it around but it still throws exceptions. I'll play with it some more tonight.
