url - Android mediaPlayer.getDuration() return 0 or -1

Question

I am creating online media player where we are playing song with the help of URL. In Media Player we are displaying Total time of song, for displaying time we are using mediaPlayer.getDuration() function but it always returning -1.

When I am passing Drop Box URL then it working but when I pass my server URL (https://) then it not working.

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

I tried this but this is for Zero and I can't use third party lib due to privacy/company policies.

Please Help...

Thank you in advance for helping...!

I tried multiple answers from stackoverflow, below are some for your reference but nothing is working -

How to get mp3 file duration Http streamed over Android MediaPlayer

mediaPlayer.getDuration() returns 0 after setDataSource and crashes app

MediaPlayer getDuration returns -1412558917

So I analyzed .mp3 file properties and found that if Bit Rate is 128kbps then mediaPlayer.getDuration() always returns 0 or -1.

I know you might don't believe that's why I recorded the video and uploaded it on Youtube. Here is link for your reference. https://youtu.be/-AKw59eb6nM

For me converting mp3 file to 320kbps from 128kbps is the solution.
