Why won't this Java Android SHOUTcast MediaPlayer app code work?

Question

    String url = "http://91.121.140.11:8000/";
    MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
    mediaPlayer.setDataSource(url);
    mediaPlayer.prepare();
    mediaPlayer.start();

I am using Android 4.0.3 to test this and have tried it on a physical device and the emulator. The app opens but I cannot hear anything. I thought they added support for SHOUTcast streams. Have I done something wrong?

Answer 1

I was having the same issue so I decided simply to try it on a real device (4.0.4). It worked. Seems like an emulator issue to me.
