MediaPlayer issue in most android 6.0 devices in streaming

In android 6.0 devices (not emulators api 23) I am receiving weird problem. Player starts playing song but after 1 or 2 seconds it again goes to 00:00 during this transition player skips the time required for transition and starts playing from that place eg(00:07).

But after 20+ seconds song starts playing normally for about 5 to 10 seconds and then player stops playing because the song is completed. Total time of this process is half than the duration of song.

What I think is there must be problem in preparing the music, but I am not sure what is the problem.

Here is the code what I have written so far

 public static MediaPlayer player = null;
 // above line is declared at start of class

// below code is written in a async task doInBackground
 if (player != null) {
        player.release();
        player = null;
    }
    durationOfSong = 0;
    String streamUrl = getSongsList.getStreamUrl(position);
    player = MediaPlayer.create(context, Uri.parse(streamUrl));
    try {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "end time: " + player.getDuration());
        player.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
        mHandler.postDelayed(UpdateSong, 100);
        player.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
                loadingSongProgress.setMessage("Buffering song...");
            }
        });
        Manipulate manipulate = new Manipulate();
        endTimingOfSong = manipulate.MillisecondsToFormat(player.getDuration());

    } catch (NullPointerException e) {
        Log.e(LOG_TAG, "NP: error: " + e.toString());
        DialogWithNoSongError(view);
    }

 // and in post execute method
 loadingSongProgress.dismiss();
 player.start();
 createMediaDialog(view,position);
 // create media dialog is used to show image, song name and running time

Android devices running <6.0 OS and emulators (running 6.0) plays song in normal fashion. If more code is needed I will edit the post, in case needed please suggest. Thanks in advance!!

Remove the code the following code from the bottom

player.start();

and replace the following 

    player.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
                @Override
                public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
                    loadingSongProgress.setMessage("Buffering song...");
                      mHandler.postDelayed(UpdateSong, 100)
                }
            });
player.prepareAsync();

Try to run this it might help you

Try this. It worked for me.

player.setDataSource(getSongsList.getStreamUrl(position)); 
player.prepareAsync();

Note: There are two methods to prepare the media player: 1. player.prepare(); this one returns after completing the prepare operation hence causes a delay in the UI thread.

  1. prepare.prepareAsync(); this one does all that works asynchronously. Hence does not cause any delay in UI thread.
