How to disable Android MediaPlayer debug messages

Question

When using MediaPlayer I get the following lines of debug messages in LogCat constantly repeating:

02-13 14:30:52.090: V/MediaPlayer(21345): getVideoWidth
02-13 14:30:52.090: V/MediaPlayer-JNI(21345): getVideoWidth: 480
02-13 14:30:52.090: V/MediaPlayer(21345): getVideoHeight
02-13 14:30:52.090: V/MediaPlayer-JNI(21345): getVideoHeight: 360
02-13 14:30:52.100: V/MediaPlayer-JNI(21345): isPlaying: 0

My buffer soon fills up and I miss my other important messages. Is there anyway to disable this? Doing an exclusive filter in LogCat doesn't work because the buffer is still filled up in the background.

do you know messages like this `02-13 17:32:02.174: W/AudioFlinger(34): write blocked for 92 msecs, 350 delayed writes, thread 0xb3f0` ? — William Kinaan, Feb 13 '13 at 15:32
I can't share the code sorry but I haven't seen any messages like that. — pilcrowpipe, Feb 13 '13 at 17:32

You can remove it by adding ^(?!MediaPlayer) to logcat filter Log Tag (regex) field: https://www.evernote.com/l/ABjh04WocVlGBp_wUBuQyefZIc_9aa8WP8QB/image.png

I've also searched a solution to this problem and it seems that it is not possible at all... As you can see, no method is available.

It's impossible because most of than are logged by C++ implementation. As you can see here, MediaPlayer is a kind of C++ wrapper to call native methods through Java.

E.g. seekTo(int).

You could also consider increasing your log level to Debug. Most of the noisy logging MediaPlayer spits out is logged as verbose.
