Prefetch error: -12009

[baoqho]

Hello,

I'm trying to play a list of 3gp files on N80 with current firmware (as told by software updater). I close each player after it is finished before creating a new one, and also cache the media data in ByteArrayInputStream after it's played.

If I let it go by itself, it can play a playlist of 6 3gp files (so it is not a memory problem, as I would have all 6 ByteArrayInputStreams at the end). But if I, say at player 2, go back to player 1 (closing player 2, creating and starting player 1) using the cached input streams, realize() works, but it chokes at prefetch() with error "MediaException: Prefetch error: -12009". Skipping prefetch() and calling start() yields the same error (-12009).

I hope someone can tell me what I am doing wrong, or share their similar experience.

Cheers,

The error is Invalid URL... (from here http://www.newlc.com/Symbian-OS-Error-Codes.html)

But the URLs should be correct as you are able to play the videos separately, right?

Hi Hartti,

I did check the error code table at NewLC.com, but that didn't give a clue.
I am playing it from ByteArrayInputStream, so there is no URL involved. And yes, I was able to play it once, before I get to the next player.

Hartti,

I found the reason. I was not resetting the ByteArrayInputStream the second time I use it to create the player.

I had this thought yesterday, but couldn't firm it until now.
