Media Player Shoutcast error

Question

I am in the process of building an android app for a local community radio station and I am getting this error in the LogCat:

2862-2862/pmelia.bcrfm V/MediaPlayer﹕ callback application
2862-2862/pmelia.bcrfm V/MediaPlayer﹕ back from callback
2862-2862/pmelia.bcrfm V/MediaPlayer﹕ isPlaying: 0
2862-2862/pmelia.bcrfm E/MediaPlayer﹕ Error (-38,0)

Here is my activity code

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity implements View.OnClickListener, View.OnTouchListener, MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener, MediaPlayer.OnBufferingUpdateListener {

    private Toolbar toolbar;
    private Button btnPlay;
    private Button btnPause;
    private Button btnStop;
    private SeekBar seekBar;
    private MediaPlayer mediaPlayer;
    private int lengthOfAudio;
    //official broadcasting URL
    private final String URL = "http://37.187.193.36:8002/listen.pls";
    private final Handler handler = new Handler();

    @Override

        updateSeekProgress();

    private void updateSeekProgress() {
        if (mediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
            seekBar.setProgress((int)(((float)mediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition() / lengthOfAudio) * 100));
            handler.postDelayed(r, 1000);

        btnPlay.setEnabled(false);
        btnPause.setEnabled(true);
        btnStop.setEnabled(true);
    }

Any help would be appreciated, this is my first time doing this type of development.

Answer 2

I had the same problem... It has to be just the IP address with port number.

For this: private final String URL = "http://37.187.193.36:8002/listen.pls";

Replace with: private final String URL = "http://37.187.193.36:8002/";
