ANDROID player won't play MP3 from server but locally?

[Klaus major-k]

Hi friends,

I'm having problems to play a MP3 (5 MB) from my server.
And yes, I waited up to a minute before I closed the app.
Works fine when I play it locally.

The device is connected via (not slow) W-Lan to the internet.

LC 9.6.10, macOS 12.7, Android 8.01

I created two buttons for create and delete and put this into the card script
-------------------------------------------------
command create_player

   ## This creates a black rect and nothing more?!
   ## I don't even see the ANSWER at the end of the script
   put "https://www.major-k.de/blueprint.mp3" into tURL

   ## Works immediately when using Safari browser on my Mac, 
   ## so the file is definitively there and URL correct!

   ## And yes, I added SSL & Encryption neccessary for -> httpS

   ## This works as advertised
   ## put specialfolderpath("resources") & "/blueprint.mp3" into tURL
   mobilecontrolCreate "player", "mplayer"
   mobileControlSet "mplayer", "visible", TRUE

   ## That grc is hidden:
   mobileControlSet "mplayer", "rect", (the rect of grc "player")
   mobileControlSet "mplayer", "backgroundcolor", "213,143,116"
   
   mobileControlSet "mplayer", "showController", TRUE
   mobileControlSet "mplayer", "filename", tURL
   
   if mobileControlGet("mplayer", "duration") = 0 then
      answer "Player is not initialised correctly"
   end if
   mobileControlDo "mplayer", "play"
end create_player

command delete_player
   mobileControlDo "mplayer", "stop"
   mobileControlDelete "player", "mplayer"
end delete_player
------------------------------------------------
Most of the time I have to tap the "delete" button at least 5 times or more 
before the player finally disappears?
However the sound stops immediately at the first tap!?

What am I missing?
Thanks for any hint!


Best

Klaus
