Exception when calling setDataSource(FileDescriptor) method (failed.: status=0x80000000)
I'm developing a video streaming application and I'm getting stuck when calling set setDataSource with a FileDescriptor. I want my application to play the video as it is being downloaded, so once I get a minimum number of bytes, I move those bytes to another file so it can be played in another file while it's being downloaded in the original file.
So, I check if I can start the media palyer every packet like this:
if (mediaPlayer == null) {
// Only create the MediaPlayer once we have the minimum
// buffered data
if (totalKbRead >= INTIAL_KB_BUFFER) {
try {
startMediaPlayer();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e(getClass().getName(),
"Error copying buffered conent.", e);
}
}
} else if (mediaPlayer.getDuration()
- mediaPlayer.getCurrentPosition() <= 1000) {
transferBufferToMediaPlayer();
}
}
This is the startMediaPlayer method code:
private void startMediaPlayer() {
try {
File bufferedFile = new File(context.getCacheDir(), "playingMedia"
+ (counter++) + ".dat");
// bufferedFile is the one that'll be played
moveFile(downloadingMediaFile, bufferedFile);
mediaPlayer = createMediaPlayer(bufferedFile);
mediaPlayer.start();
playButton.setEnabled(true);
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(getClass().getName(), "Error initializing the MediaPlayer.",
e);
return;
}
I move the file with the following code:
public void moveFile(File oldLocation, File newLocation) throws IOException {
if (oldLocation.exists()) {
BufferedInputStream reader = new BufferedInputStream(
new FileInputStream(oldLocation));
BufferedOutputStream writer = new BufferedOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream(newLocation, false));
try {
byte[] buff = new byte[8192];
int numChars;
while ((numChars = reader.read(buff, 0, buff.length)) != -1) {
writer.write(buff, 0, numChars);
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
throw new IOException("IOException when transferring "
+ oldLocation.getPath() + " to "
+ newLocation.getPath());
} finally {
try {
if (reader != null) {
writer.flush();
writer.close();
reader.close();
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
Log.e(getClass().getName(),
"Error closing files when transferring "
+ oldLocation.getPath() + " to "
+ newLocation.getPath());
}
}
} else {
throw new IOException(
"Old location does not exist when transferring "
+ oldLocation.getPath() + " to "
+ newLocation.getPath());
}
}
}
And I finally create the MediaPlayer object here:
private MediaPlayer createMediaPlayer(File mediaFile) throws IOException {
if(mediaPlayer != null){
mediaPlayer.release();
}
MediaPlayer mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
mPlayer.setOnErrorListener(new MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener() {
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
Log.e(getClass().getName(), "Error in MediaPlayer: (" + what
+ ") with extra (" + extra + ")");
return false;
}
});
// It appears that for security/permission reasons, it is better to pass
// a FileDescriptor rather than a direct path to the File.
// Also I have seen errors such as "PVMFErrNotSupported" and
// "Prepare failed.: status=0x1" if a file path String is passed to
// setDataSource().
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(mediaFile);
mPlayer.reset();
FileDescriptor fd = fis.getFD();
mPlayer.setDataSource(fd); // IM GETTING THE EXCEPTION HERE
mPlayer.setDisplay(mHolder);
mPlayer.prepare();
return mPlayer;
}
This is the excepction I get:

I've been the whole morning stuck here and I really find no information on that error. Some people have told me to use the file path, but I get the other exception I talk about in the comments (right over the FileInputStream creation).
I'm really lost here, any help would be very appreciated
