If you want to, it's in the Screen_Video.java file. Sooo, why won't it play on the device but will on the emulator? There are lots and lots of things that could cause this. Issues like the type of compression used for the file you are trying to play, the file type itself, etc, etc. Android devices handle file types and codecs in a few different ways (unlike the iPhone where thay all work the same!) so it could be tough to track this down. What is the URL of the file you are trying to play - I'll see what I can get it to play on ;-) Comments The media player for Android is the same for Audio or Video, the message that reads Cannot Play Video should probably be changed to Cannot Play Media You can easily fix this in the project if you want.

Okay some info: I had to adjust the bitrate on the MP3 file.. Seems that 128 works the best... Once I did so all streaming issues have went away.

Did you have issues with the emulator? or on the device? I did find a small bug I will open in a seperate topic. I think the fix will be easy.. (It's just if you roate the phone during the audio stream it starts from the begining).
