Mediaplayer error (-38,0) and error (1,-1010)

So i am trying to get a mediaplayer to work, but on first install the music doesnt start playing (i think it's because of permissions needed for the visualizer). But everytime afterwards it plays just fine.

code:

    mPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.bik);
    mPlayer.setLooping(true);
    mPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
            mp.start();
        }
    });

Log cat:

11-23 17:18:29.979 28329-28329/com.waro.blockevader E/MediaPlayer: Error (-38,0)
11-23 17:18:29.979 28329-28329/com.waro.blockevader E/MediaPlayer: Error (-38,0)

11-23 17:18:29.979 28329-28329/com.waro.blockevader E/MediaPlayer: Error (-38,0)

The file format is .mp4

Thanks for the help.

Edit:

What i meant by everytime after;

Everytime after i gave permissions and RESTARTED the app, the music starts playing just fine and no errors are given.

Permissions:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO"/>

I fixed it by changing a part in the onResumse(),

As expected it was indeed the permission causing havoc, i had:

if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
        if (!mPlayer.isPlaying() && !mpCreated) {
            initTunnelPlayerWorkaround();
            init();
        } else {
            mPlayer.start();
            mVisualizerView.link(mPlayer);
        }
    } else {
        cleanUp();
        mPlayer.start();
        Log.i("boop","biep");
    }

And finally discovered by that log it was going into the else, meaning it was calling the cleanUp(); method

And in the cleanUp() method i had:

private void cleanUp() {
    if (mPlayer != null) {
        mVisualizerView.release();
        if(!mPlayer.isPlaying()) {
            mPlayer.pause();
        }
    }
}

The 2nd if was causing havoc (duh) and i fixed it by changing it to:

private void cleanUp() {
    if (mPlayer != null) {
        mVisualizerView.release();
        if(mPlayer.isPlaying()) {
            mPlayer.pause();
        }
}

I know this is a weird and specific answer, but maybe someone else who had the same struggle can find out why he or she was having problems.

Have a great day all and thanks for trying to help

You are getting two different errors. The first one

E/MediaPlayer: Error (-38,0)

means that you try to call the MediaPlayer without preparing it first.

The second error 

E/MediaPlayer: Error (1,-1010)

means that the media is unsupported. You can see the error codes here and here
