My superficial research did not lead to a solution, that would fix the problem without a reboot.Д®dit 2: I have updated to Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and unfortunately this problem still persists.

Maybe we need to contact the vendors of applications that use the MediaPlayer, so they make sure they call release(). Those apps probably never reach a state where they call MediaPlayer.release(). I am still not sure, which app (or combination of apps) reproduce the error reliably.Д®dit: I guess that any application, that uses the MediaPlayer class can cause the problem. The only known workaround seems to be rebooting. The error message reads: Completed command PLAYER_PREPARE status=-17ДЄccording to this forum 'itвЂ™s caused by having too many MediaPlayer objects active at once.' Unfortunately I have not yet found a fix. I have finally had a chance to look at the logcat while the problem was occuring. So I suggest it is not a hardware issue (neither related to sdcards nor to the phone itself). Or they suggest to send the phone back for replacement - and guess what: It has not fixed the problem for people experiencing this issue. Looking at forums (I only found a few hits in Google), people having the same problems suggest to simply reboot the phone - but that is no fix at all. The phone was idle during the time it 'decided' to no longer play mp3. What contradicts this theory: Backups are scheduled at night but last time I saw this issue it happened during the day - mp3 worked in the morning, failed in the afternoon. Maybe others experiencing this issue use scheduled TitaniumBackups, too? The hint was that since upgrading to 2.2.1 I also upgraded to the licensed TitaniumBackup version and scheduled daily backups.

I'm curious if TitaniumBackup may be the culprit as the backup scheduler seems to stop processes sometimes. I had this before 2.2.1 (with 2.2) but only very rarely. I applied 2.2.1 firmware lately and this only seemed to make the problem worse.

I suppose the issue may not be the video playback itself but the audio codec used in the video (mp3).ДЄny idea how to fix this or debug this? I don't want to reboot my phone every couple of days - it takes 2-3 minutes to do this and a phone should just work. The youtube app can no longer start videos (unknown playback problem), and the video player app claims all video files as unsupported. This also affects video playback, I'm just not sure if it happens at the same time or independent of each other. It does not make a difference if files are stored on internal or external sd card.

A reboot of the phone fixes the issue but within 3-4 days the problem comes back. my custom ring tone is not played anymore (it just vibrates as if it were muted). When this happens, no app can play mp3 files, e.g. Ogg files however still play without problems. All of a sudden my Samsung Galaxy S claims to not support mp3 files (the phone has been idle for a few hours, I did not touch anything).
