Problem
I'm trying to stream audio from a URL. The code works fine with other URLs, but in one of those it fails in the `OnPrepared` method, returning this error code: (1, -2147483648). I've read some people saying it's because of permissions, but it's a remote file, so I can't set permissions. I've tried the URL with other apps like VLC and iTunes, and it's working fine. My code is here: ``` private void prepareradio() { player = new MediaPlayer(); player.setAudioStreamType(MODE_WORLD_READABLE); try { player.setDataSource(url); } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IllegalStateException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } player.setOnErrorListener(new OnErrorListener(){ public boolean onError(MediaPlayer arg0, int arg1, int arg2) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"An error happened while preparing radio",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); prepareradio(); playe.setEnabled(true); hidenot(); return false; } }); ```
