Media player problem

[asha Pawaskar]

Hi all

I am developing a audio and video streaming application.

I have installed Darwin streaming server on my system and it is running.

Audio problem:
i am able to play audio file, using http protocol from some remote location but not able to play it from Darwin server (using Rtsp protocol). It is not showing any error on the sreen but in DDMS it says

Command PLAYER_INIT completed with an error or info PVMFFailure and some bizarre message


here is my code for audio play:

MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
mp.reset();
String link = "Rtsp://localhost/sample.mp3";
mp.setDataSource(getApplicationContext(), Uri.parse(link));
mp.prepare();
mp.start();


Video problem:
I am trying to play video file from http as well as rtsp, and for both I am getting dialog box saying "Sorry this video can not be played".... and in DDMS it says "Command PLAYER_SET_DATA_SOURCE completed with an error or info PVMFErrNotSupported"
I am playing .3gp file.....

If I place same file in sdcard and play then it works smoothly....

here is the code for video play
Play.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

public void onClick(View v) {

videoview.setKeepScreenOn(true);
videoview.setVideoPath("Rtsp://10.30.10.13/sample_50kbit.3gp");
// videoview.setVideoPath("http://www.mobileplayground.co.uk/video/Crazy%20Frog.3gp");
videoview.start();
videoview.requestFocus();

}
});

please help.... it is urgent

Have you looked at the first result you get for googling "android PVMFErrNotSupported"?

But my file is not in the local directory... so I can't use FileDescriptor

I want to play it from the remote location (like by giving http video link)

and second thing is I have installed Darwin server and there are some sample video files in the Darwin server which I am trying to play, but I am getting Dialog box saying "Sorry this file can not be played", as I have already mentioned...
