MediaMetadataRetriever on streaming source
This method works better:
public void setDataSource (String uri, Map<String, String> headers)
(with the url of your stream and an empty map e.g
setDataSource("https://somewebsite.com/somefile.mp3", new HashMap<String,String>()
);)
MediaMetadataRetriever doesn't work with URL's on certain versions of Android, see this issue. I created FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever as a workaround, I suggest trying it out.
According to the same issue listed in the other answer, you just need to use the setDataSource method with these arguments:
setDataSource(String uri, Map<String, String> headers)
So for example,
public void getStreamMetaData(String url){
MediaMetadataRetriever mmr = new MediaMetadataRetriever();
mmr.setDataSource(url, new HashMap<String, String>());
//now do whatever you want
}
I tested it with a streaming mp4 and it worked for me. Also just a note, you'll want to use the setDataSource method in an AsyncTask or on another thread, since it may take a while to run according to the docs.
