title: What does MEDIA_ERROR_SERVER_DIED mean?
body: <p>In the <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html#MEDIA_ERROR_SERVER_DIED">Android docs</a>, there is a constant defined <code>MEDIA_ERROR_SERVER_DIED</code> which is described as:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Media server died. In this case, the application must release the MediaPlayer object and instantiate a new one.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>This seems very vague. What does it mean that the Media server died? Why would it die? And is it proper to handle it by immediately trying to play again afterwards?</p>
