OK, this is a little frustrating, and I have searched Stack but none of the answers seems to help.
I have an Android app which cycles through different content on the screen. At one point it plays a video, the same video, loaded from the same place.
After a random number of plays, it decides to stop playing the video file and throws the error up above (-2147483648) which is a generic file not found / incorrect format error.
The problem is the video plays correctly numerous times before this error comes up. I have tried a number of alternatives to fixing this:
and yet still, after multiple plays, eventually, it will refuse to play the video.
One change which might or might no be relevant is when playing from a file descriptor it throws a mediaplayer prepare Java I/O Exception which I believe is related to perhaps there is somehow some locking happening on the file.
The only way to fix this is to reboot the device. Restarting the app does not fix it and it immediately will refuse to play the file.
Here is the VideoView playing code:
// from main activity
File afile = new File(btvapp.fileroot,btvapp.getDailyVideo().get("FILENAME"));
afile.setReadable(true, false);
theVideo = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoViewer);
theVideo.requestFocus();
theVideo.setVideoPath(afile.getPath());
theVideo.setOnPreparedListener(this);
theVideo.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
@Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
//mp.release();
theVideo.stopPlayback();
mp.release();
finish();
}
} );
theVideo.setOnErrorListener(new MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener() {
@Override
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
finish();
return false;
}
});
// play on prepared function
@Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
mp.start();
}
The surface view uses the Android SDK mediaplaying example almost exactly, but I don't think it's worth pasting the code, since the error happens regardless of whether you use the mediaplayer + surfaceview method OR the VideoView playback method.
Thoughts? Driving me crazy.
UPDATE: Here's the full log including the main app and the spawned video activity

UPDATE 2: I have tested the code on 2 other Android devices (one ICS, one Gingerbread) and annoyingly it works fine on them and ran for over 12 hours without incident. So, it looks to be a platform error, but still need to solve this.
I'm almost positive this is an issue with the Amlogic based device you are using (evident due to the "amplayer" and "AmlogicPlayer" in the logcat). We have had tons of issues with an Amlogic AML8726 based device we are testing. Try upgrading the firmware if possible.
