AACPlayer issue when playing certain stream on Android

[tychota]

Hi, I just manage to spot a difficult to reproduce problem on Android.

Steps I did to see the problem

1. Upload a acc to AWS S3 using react-native-audio to record the AAC and RN XMLHttpRequest to serve
2. Be sure that it is serve from aws S3 (no cloudfront in beetween) with content type AAC
3. Use react-native-audio-streaming to play the content
4. See it does nothing

Sometimes, with some file or after a delay (?? not sure about it) It does manage to play the file, but sometimes it fail, so it is hard to reproduce. Note that the same file work perfectly on iOS

Debug message

As I was able to find a bugging case on a real android device (ZTE Axon Pro Android 5.0.2 and kernel 3.10.49 on a Qualcomm810 processor), I did get the following pidcat bug (with redacted private header that content private metadata).

This seems to be related to this line:
https://github.com/vbartacek/aacdecoder-android/blob/master/decoder/jni/aac-decoder/aac-decoder.c#L427

I'm pretty noob with aac, but I read somewhere in the net that it can be because my file as an ADIF header instead of an ADTS and thus vbartacek/aacdecoder-android can't read it

Hope you have enough info to help me.

Hello,

I'm sorry but I have no idea about the issue there. If meta informations are not needed for your case, you could try the new implementation with ExoPlayer #44.

#44 seems month old so I did not give a try but if you think it will work, I will be please to test.

I rebased it and did an update of the underlying android library. Sadly it does not provide meta information for the moment.

[tychota]

What do you mean by metadata (just to be sure) ?

Shall I redo my work (url/progress) on top of that or this is already feature compatible with iOS.

[tlenclos]

I mean artist and song name. This is not feature compatible yet but I'm waiting for a new release of the library.

[tychota]

Ah ID3 tags ? Cool !

Ok :) will it interest you that I do the same stuff I did to send the url and the progress in the RN event, like I did before, but on top of Exoplayer.

By the way Exo player look awesome. I mean when the branch will land, it will be a great progress.
Ty for doing this.

[tlenclos]

Yes you can if you really need this feature, and we could merge it in my branch then.
