PLS URL not working on Android
Describe the Bug I have the following streaming URL for my radio station:
https://cast6.my-control-panel.com/stream/unica/stream.pls
I'm attempting to use the react-native-track-player library to play audio from this URL. I've implemented it as follows:
// ...
const initPlayer = async (audio: string) => {
await TrackPlayer.setupPlayer();
await TrackPlayer.updateOptions({
android: {
appKilledPlaybackBehavior:
AppKilledPlaybackBehavior.StopPlaybackAndRemoveNotification,
},
capabilities: [Capability.Play, Capability.Pause],
compactCapabilities: [Capability.Play, Capability.Pause],
notificationCapabilities: [Capability.Play, Capability.Pause],
});
TrackPlayer.add({
url: audio,
title: 'My Stream',
artist: 'My Stream',
artwork: require('@assets/logo.png'),
type: TrackType.HLS,
});
};
// ...
And in the service.stream.js section:
//...
export const PlaybackService = async function() {
const listenerService = new ListenerService();
TrackPlayer.addEventListener(Event.PlaybackState, ({ state }) => {
if ([State.Playing, State.Paused].includes(state)) {
listenerService.register(state === State.Playing);
}
});
TrackPlayer.addEventListener(Event.RemotePlay, () => {
TrackPlayer.play();
});
TrackPlayer.addEventListener(Event.RemotePause, () => {
TrackPlayer.pause();
});
TrackPlayer.addEventListener(Event.PlaybackError, event => {
console.log(event);
});
};
The issue arises when pressing the play button on Android, and the console displays the following message:
{"code": "android-parsing-manifest-malformed", "message": "Source error"}
Strangely, this issue only occurs on Android; the configuration works perfectly on iOS.
Steps To Reproduce
- Press the play button on Android.
Code To Reproduce Unfortunately, I can't provide a simple code example to replicate the bug.
Replicable on Example App? I'm unsure if this bug can be replicated in the React Native Track Player Example App.

How I can Help
What can you do to help resolve this? I need to confirm if the library truly supports the format of my streaming URL.
Have you investigated the underlying JS or Swift/Android code causing this bug? Yes.
Can you create a Pull Request with a fix? No.
RNTP on android uses exoplayer; see https://developer.android.com/media/media3/exoplayer/supported-formats https://github.com/google/ExoPlayer/issues/1947
PLS is probably not supported out of the box

Thank you very much, but I have even tried with the address that contains the PLS file, and the error is the same.
[playlist]
numberofentries=1
File1=https://cast6.my-control-panel.com/proxy/unica/stream
Title1=
Length1=-1
version=2
The address is https://cast6.my-control-panel.com/proxy/unica/stream, it's working on iOS, the problem is Android.
ru sure? i put https://cast6.my-control-panel.com/proxy/unica/stream in place of https://github.com/doublesymmetry/react-native-track-player/blob/47b2d08033563ef4d7e76a7f061c244ac3dba1ec/example/src/assets/data/playlist.json#L3 and it works fine.

Hi i tried but diidm't work i am having same issue. getting output {"buffered": 0, "duration": 0, "position": 0}
here is code await TrackPlayer.add([ { id: 1, url: "https://cast6.my-control-panel.com/proxy/unica/stream.mp3", // Load media from the network title: "Avaritia", artist: "deadmau5", album: "while(1<2)", genre: "Progressive House, Electro House", date: "2014-05-20T07:00:00+00:00", // RFC 3339 currentIndex: index, // artwork: "http://example.com/cover.png", // Load artwork from the network //duration: 402, // Duration in seconds }, ]); await TrackPlayer.play();

Hi just tried without .mp3 still didn't worked: await TrackPlayer.add([ { id: 1, url: "https://cast6.my-control-panel.com/proxy/unica/stream", // Load media from the network title: "Avaritia", artist: "deadmau5", album: "while(1<2)", genre: "Progressive House, Electro House", date: "2014-05-20T07:00:00+00:00", // RFC 3339 currentIndex: index, // artwork: "http://example.com/cover.png", // Load artwork from the network //duration: 402, // Duration in seconds }, ]); await TrackPlayer.play();
**Hi can you telll me which version you are using for this package? i'm using ^4.0.1**
whelp. this url works with the example app and i suggest you to also fork the example, use your url to rule out any device issues or your app setup first

Nope by default even there is no track it shows all content 0. So surely its bug in 4.1 i just verify by down the version to 3.2 and there same ur that you proved and also check with mine url its also working at that version.
So anybody who is having same issue like playing audio using url doesn't not work on android but working on iOS you can downgrade to 3.2 its working there
And also I'm requesting the this package manager please have a look and please fix the issue i wasted alot of time on it.Hopefully we see the fix soon thanks.
