MediaMetadataRetriever on streaming source
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.
This method works better:
public void setDataSource (String uri, Map<String, String> headers)(with the url of your stream and an empty map e.gsetDataSource("https://somewebsite.com/somefile.mp3", new HashMap<String,String>());)
