MediaPlayer error (1, -1004) aka MEDIA_ERROR_IO trying to stream music on Samsung S3

by

The answer to this question turned out to be an issue on Android firmware installed on Samsung S III devices running Android 4.1.2.

It seemed to have been something relating to the source of the stream, because some sources eventually played on the device, but the one we needed, never played.

If you can get your stream from another source, it should work.

So if you’re developing an application for a specific company/purpose and have some control over the source of the stream, or can communicate with people in control of the source of the stream, get them to change the source of the stream to something that’ll work on a Samsung S III running Android 4.1.2.

Other than that all that will solve this is a firmware upgrade.
