Please provide a runnable test case to reproduce this issue.

My test case is simple and clear. I provide you one url. Check this url in your chrome browser : http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=ja&q=%E3%81%93%E3%82%93%E3%81%AB%E3%81%A1%E3%81%AF Then try with the titanium media player : ti.media.player { url : http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=ja&q=%E3%81%93%E3%82%93%E3%81%AB%E3%81%A1%E3%81%AF } Same URL, two different sounds because titanium media player doesn't support exotic langage.

Moving this to engineering as I can reproduce this issue with the test case. Test case:

   var w = Ti.UI.createWindow({backgroundColor:'white'});
   var b = Ti.UI.createButton({title:'Play'});
   var m = Titanium.Media.createAudioPlayer({
       url: 'http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=ja&q=%E3%81%93%E3%82%93%E3%81%AB%E3%81%A1%E3%81%AF'    
   });
   b.addEventListener('click', function () {
       m.play();
   });
   w.add(b);
   w.open();
