Answer 1

java.io.FileNotFoundException: No content provider: http://www.example.com:8000/live.ogg

Because its trying load as a file from device contentprovider based on the context and you are passing as a URL.

Seems your issue is in setting datasource to mediaplayer. As you are trying to play url or streaming which required to setDataSource method without context.

I was facing same issue while playing live streaming. and below code resolved my issue.

PlayerScreen

        public class PlayerScreen extends Activity {
        @Override

            findViewById(R.id.btnStartMediaPlayer).setOnClickListener(clickListener);
            findViewById(R.id.btnStopMediaPlayer).setOnClickListener(clickListener);
            ToggleButton toggleButton = (ToggleButton) findViewById(R.id.togglePauseResume);
            toggleButton.setOnCheckedChangeListener(checkedChangeListener);
            /*
            * To get url which is passing from the previous activity listitem click.

To get data from streaming url header data you can [check this answer][2]

For testing purpose here i have used two urls

UPDATE PlayerActivity

public class PlayerScreen extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.player);
        startService(new Intent(this, MediaPlayerService.class));
        /*
        * To get url which is passing from the previous activity listitem click.
        * If url which is pass from listitem click is not empty it will start player
        * */
        String url = getIntent().getStringExtra("url");
        if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(url))
            startMediaPlayer(url);

    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        registerReceiver(receiverFromservice, new IntentFilter(MediaPlayerService.SERVICE_TO_ACTIVITY));
    }

    private String currentPlayerStatus = "N/A";
    private BroadcastReceiver receiverFromservice = new BroadcastReceiver() {
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            String action = intent.getAction();
            if (MediaPlayerService.SERVICE_TO_ACTIVITY.equalsIgnoreCase(action)) {
                /*
                * To get current status of player
                * */
                currentPlayerStatus = intent.getStringExtra(MediaPlayerService.PLAYER_STATUS_KEY);
                Log.e("Player Mode", "" + currentPlayerStatus);
            }
        }
    };

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        unregisterReceiver(receiverFromservice);
    }

    /**

    public void startMediaPlayer(String url) {

}

let me know if anything.

Answer 2

Go to this file https://github.com/Old-Geek/Radio/blob/master/app/src/main/java/org/oucho/radio/Player.java#L234 and change

player.setDataSource(context, Uri.parse(url));

to

player.setDataSource(url)

The problem is that void setDataSource (String path) Sets the data source (file-path or http/rtsp URL) to use.

path String: the path of the file, or the http/rtsp URL of the stream you want to play

the github code uses void setDataSource (Context context, Uri uri) which assumes uri to be of some form of ContentProvider

context Context: the Context to use when resolving the Uri
uri Uri: the Content URI of the data you want to play

Answer 3

This error also happens if this internet permission is not in the Manifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Answer 4

On Android 9+ the clear net http trafic may cause this problem. Check this one: Android 8: Cleartext HTTP traffic not permitted
