Description:When trying to use MP3Player for playing streams, it constantly results in this error message:
app_mp3.c:133 timed_read: Poll timed out/errored out with 0

I tried with ~10 mp3-Streams.

This error has been tackled already some years ago in this issue:
ASTERISK-2384

According to the source, mpg123 is called with "-b 1024". Removing this option solves the issue, audio is played instantly. So I guess there might be an imbalance between the buffer, stream data rate and the timeout.

I have also had this problem for years and never submitted my patch for it. I have uploaded it now: https://gerrit.asterisk.org/3738 . I decided to keep the buffering, but make the buffer size really small so that it takes milliseconds to fill up instead of dozens of seconds.

This issue should be closed. The fix has been merged a few weeks ago.
