Error playing "song title" prepare failed.: status

Error playing "song title" prepare failed.: status=0x1 (IOException)

I get this error almost every time I start to play a new song after it has buffered enough to start playing. Anybody else run into this? How do I fix it?

The same thing happens to me. Sometimes songs will play fine, but more often than not I get:

Prepare failed.: status=0x1 (IOException)

If I hit the play button again it usually plays fine.

(This is with the Android client)

Confirmed here as well. I did a google search came up with this: http://www.remwebdevelopment.com/dev/a63/Playing-Audio-error-PVMFErrNotSupported-Prepare-failed-status0x1-.html

Sindre: looks like you should be using a FileInputStream. I checked out the Android project source and found (in Rev:2133 line 479):

Code: Select all

            mediaPlayer.setDataSource(file.getPath());

and replaced it with:

Code: Select all

            FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
            mediaPlayer.setDataSource(fis.getFD());

and added the import for java.io.FileInputStream . This fixed the issue for me initially, though I'd run it for a few days and on a few servers before assuming it works in all cases.

does that mean you rebuilt the subsonic android apk? if so can you share? this error is driving me crazy.

i'm having this same issue. it happens to me on wifi and 3g. sometimes it'll play just fine, but often times i'll get this error. i keep pressing play and eventually it will play fine so it isn't the file.

i don't use the web app much, but i've never experienced a problem through the browser so i think it is specific to the android app. this error is driving me crazy as well.

Count me in as having this issue. This is new though, I didn't have this issue in previous versions.
