PlayUrl(url) not working on android: FinishedPlaying called instantly
Describe the bug When using SoundPlayer.playUrl(url) (with url being a valid link containing the .aac audio file); the sound does not play and the listener FinishedPlaying is called instantly.
It feels like the url isn't even loaded.
Or perhaps it is, silently, because when I leave the app iddle for 5 minutes and come back and I press play again, the file plays ONCE. And then back to same issue.
The test audio is just a short sound, no more than 100Kb, with .aac format.
Platform (please complete the following information):
- OS: Android
Extra information, if that helps:
All sound files are recorded and saved using react-native-audio, with the following parameters:
audioSettings: { SampleRate: 22050, Channels: 1, AudioQuality: "Low", AudioEncoding: "aac", MeteringEnabled: true, IncludeBase64: false, AudioEncodingBitRate: 32000 },
Additional information, that might require a new thread actually:
It seems SO random; sometimes the playUrl doesn't work on both iOS and Android. Using the getInfo() shows a duration: 0, currentTime: 0 on audio that doesn't work; and shows the right information when the audio plays.
All these audio are the same format, can be length between 1 to 30 seconds, between 40 to 100Kb, and all stored on the same storage.
I am completely clueless...
I have big hopes on this library compared to react-native-sound; because yours use the proper MEDIA sound setting when playing on android; whereas the other library use the NOTIFICATION setting which is a big problem and this cannot be changed. That is why I came here, hopefully someone will pass by... :)
Use the version 0.10.3, it is working. I had the same problem. Now it is working.

You are a life saver, it does work fine rolling back to version 0.10.3! Might be interesting to investigate why?
On the other hand, although it works fine when the file / url exists; when the url is empty or broken the app freezes; and the error isn't caught in the try / catch.
Here is my logcat if anyone can help:

Additional info:
Although it was fixed on android for sound url that exists; it is still broken randomly on iOS on some sound. REALLY random, even on some sound that does exist, some works, some don't...
Is it working perfectly for you on iOS @hussainarthuna ?
@pierroo No I’ve not tested it on iOS as my client only requires android application.

Some sounds as in? I didn't get it.
Sorry, by "some sounds" I meant playUrl still doesn't work on some URL (containing a sound / .aac file)
They are all the same format, often the same size and length, but yet, some does work, and some doesn't: RANDOM.

I've tried with Mp3's and they all work fine. Try only Mp3 and check.
Use the version 0.10.3, it is working. I had the same problem. Now it is working.
It worked Thanks a lot.
I ran into the same problem on Android. On iOS it was working as expected. Only rolling back to 0.10.3 didn't help.
What worked for me is that instead of using playUrl I used loadUrl and once the url is loaded onFinishedLoadingURL callback I manually started playing the file SoundPlayer.play().
Haven't gone into details of why is this happening, thought It may help someone.

Thank you very much. I try like this it worked for me.
SoundPlayer.loadUrl(value) SoundPlayer.addEventListener('FinishedLoadingURL', ({ success, url }) => { SoundPlayer.play() })
In iOS, playUrl/loadUrl not playing for random urls.
Inside FinishedLoadingURL listener callback, getInfo() returns {"duration":0,"currentTime":0}. Any solution?
