Playing mp3 audio with S60 5th Editon SDK

[woody99]

Hi,

I am currently trying to play an mp3 with a J2ME midlet using the S60 5th Edition SDK version 1.0. In emulation it crashes:

javax.microedition.media.MediaException: Could not create player.
at
com.nokia.microedition.media.ManagerImpl.createInternalPlayer(ManagerImpl.java:486)
at com.nokia.microedition.media.ManagerImpl.createPlayer(ManagerImpl.java:534)
at javax.microedition.media.Manager.createPlayer(Manager.java:74)[/I]

When I try the jar on the 5800 device there is no sound.

I was able to play this same code on the S60 3rd Edition SDK and the N95 device successfully. The mp3 file plays.

Is there currently an issue playing mp3 with the 5th Edition SDK? Perhaps, there is a configuration parameter I need to set?

Regards,

Eric

Hello woody99,

When I try the jar on the 5800 device there is no sound.

Are you testing with a SIM card on the device? Does it make difference if the SIM is there?

Thanks r2j7,

It works after I put a SIM card in the device. I never would have thought of that!

Hello woody99,

yes, there seems to be a MMAPI related limitation with certain firmwares of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic alright.

One more related question: could you please deliver the firmware version (i.e. entering *#0000# on Active Standby view) of your device so we can track this issue?

I've exacly the same problem.

My device: 5800 XM: 30.0.011

FileConnection fc = (FileConnection) Connector.open("SoundFile.mp3", Connector.READ);
        InputStream in = fc.openInputStream();
        Player player = Manager.createPlayer(in, "audio/mpeg");
        player.realize();
        vc = (VolumeControl) player.getControl("VolumeControl");
        if (vc != null) {
            vc.setLevel(100);
        }

        player.prefetch();
        player.start();

On the Emulator from the S60 5th Edition SDK this code crashs and when i try this on my device there's no sound.

Regards,
Julian

I got it!

When I turned on the audio warnings then it works :-)

[Tiger79]

what do you mean with turning on audio warnings ?

[julian123]

1. Go to "Settings"
2. Select "Profiles"
3. Select "General" or the profile you are using
4. Select "Personalise"
5. Set "Warning Tones" to "On"

Sorry, I mean "Warning Tones" :-)
This just works on a real device!!!
