Player

[alonish]

Hi guys,

I have a very annoying problem:
I'm trying to play streaming sound (mid) on my application.
The thing is that this operation succeeds in some devices (N70), but fails in other (Nokia 6101).
Here is the code I'm using:

HttpConnection conn = (HttpConnection)Connector.
open("my url", Connector.READ);
InputStream is = conn.openInputStream();
Player player = Manager.createPlayer(is,"audio/midi");

player.realize();
// get volume control for player and set volume to max
VolumeControl vc = (VolumeControl) player.getControl("VolumeControl");
if(vc != null)
{
vc.setLevel(60);
}
// the player can start with the smallest latency
player.prefetch();
// non-blocking start
player.start();

Please note that altough this fails in Nokia 6101, I'm still able to play sound (if I put a mid in my resources directory).

Thanks in advance,
Alonish

Maybe it would be better if you use the Manager.createPlayer(String your_url) method instead of the one you use to create the player.
Check also which content types the device handles for the "http" protocol, by using the Manager.getSupportedContentTypes method.

Thanks for your reply.
I already tried this, but it didn't work..... :-(

Hmm well :-/ Do you catch any exception?
My guess would be that maybe it's just a gprs configuration problem. I used to have somes with other series 40 devices, like 6230, 6230i, 3220 and others... And it was a bit tricky... Even if your gprs profile is well configured (for the browser), maybe it is not, for your java application... Did you manage to make an http connection with your phone, for testing?

Yep. The gprs connection works in other sections of my application.
