Question

Either my webserver at codejanitor is not designed for streaming? or maybe I’m doing something wrong?

I’ve tried the following two approaches:

try {
            mp = MediaPlayer.create(
                    AmazonClipActivity.this, 
                    Uri.parse("http://codejanitor.us/good.mp3"));
            mp.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
                @Override
                public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
                    mp.start();

                }
            });
        } finally {
            if(mp!=null) {
                mp.release();
                mp =null;
            }
        } 

AND

try {
            mp = MediaPlayer.create(
                    AmazonClipActivity.this, 
                    Uri.parse("http://codejanitor.us/good.mp3"));
            mp.start();
        } finally {
            if(mp!=null) {
                mp.release();
                mp =null;
            }
        } 

AND both produce:

Read this topic. None of the answers are marked, but there are a few solutions to how to get MediaPlayer to stream from a URL.
