Exoplayer: Not able to stream .pls and .m3u URL with ExoPlayer

[chiragsidhiwala]

I would like to do live Audio streaming of few radio stations which contain .pls and .m3u URLs. After adding those URL in ExoPlayer Demo it's giving below error :

com.google.android.exoplayer2.demo E/EventLogger: internalError [0.83, loadError]

I havve replaced URLs in media.exolist.json file added in assets folder in "HSL" section.
Below are sample URL which is not supporting :
http://wmfe.iad.streamguys1.com/wmfe.m3u
http://wusf.usf.edu/wusf_radio.asx
http://hd1.wusf.usf.edu:8000/listen.pls

Please help me to resolve this issue asap , as it's blocking my play store application.

the biggest error is the "None of the available extractors (MatroskaExtractor, FragmentedMp4Extractor, Mp4Extractor, Mp3Extractor, AdtsExtractor, Ac3Extractor, TsExtractor, FlvExtractor, OggExtractor, PsExtractor, WavExtractor) could read the stream."

We don't currently support extracting URLs from these sort of playlist files; see also #1947. ExtractorMediaSource throws an exception because it doesn't recognize the file as a valid media container: MP3, Matroska, MP4, etc..

It should be fairly straightforward to request and parse the playlists in your app, then pass the contained media URLs to ExoPlayer.

Note: you can quickly verify that the contained URLs play using the ExoPlayer demo app, like this: adb shell am start -a com.google.android.exoplayer.demo.action.VIEW -d "http://wmfe.iad.streamguys1.com:80/wmfe", where the URL comes from the m3u file linked above.

Hi
I have same problem with exoplayer. i'm testing a lot of valid hls video url (exp 'http://content.jwplatform.com/manifests/vM7nH0Kl.m3u8') but all of them have same error like this. What's the problem? and how can i resolve it?!

[andrewlewis]

@amintabar If you're playing HLS streams, use HlsMediaSource (not ExtractorMediaSource).

@andrewlewis Thanks, it's very helpful, and resolve my problem.
