No Error event is fired when trying to play a video from a URL that doesn't exist (404).

[fdegryse]

Problem description:

If the HTTP server sends a 404 error in response to the specified URL, no error is thrown indicating that the video cannot be played. The last log received is "[AVProVideo] Opening http://[non-existing-file].m3u8 (offset 0) with API WinRT"

Tested using

mediaPlayer.Events.AddListener(MediaPlayerEventHandler);
mediaPlayer.OpenMedia(MediaPathType.AbsolutePathOrURL, videoURL, autoPlay: true)

...

private void MediaPlayerEventHandler(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer, MediaPlayerEvent.EventType eventType, ErrorCode errorCode)
{
	if(eventType == MediaPlayerEvent.EventType.Error)
	{
		// handle error
	}
}

Device:

At least in the Unity Editor on Windows 10, haven't tested in builds yet.

Media:

Tested with a m3u8 and mp4 video URL on the same server.

System Information:

AVPro Video: v2.7.3 (plugin v2.7.0f1-core) Target Platform: Standalone Unity: v2020.3.30f1 WindowsEditor OS: Desktop - Precision 3650 Tower (Dell Inc.) - Windows 10 (10.0.19045) 64bit - French CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700K @ 3.60GHz - 16 threads - 32493KB GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER - NVIDIA - Direct3D 11.0 [level 11.1] - 3943KB - 16384

I'm seeing the same issue as well - with almost identical code, running in Editor on MBP (build target is Android). Have also not yet tested on device from a build.

The error log I'm seeing is this: "[AVProVideo] Error: Loading failed. File not found, codec not supported, video resolution too high or insufficient system resources."

Originally running version 2.7.3 as above, but upgraded to latest (2.8.4?) with no change. All under Unity 2020.3.48f1

Quick update that we confirmed the issue still persists on build to Android devices, so we do not believe it is Editor-specific.

Just tried to reproduce this here and I get the error event fire in both Windows Editor and Android.

Are you able to provide a bare bones, simple test project? If so, email is over to [email protected]

Hi @fdegryse Are you able to provide a bare bones, simple test project to [email protected]

[fdegryse]

Hi, I'm currently out of office for a couple of weeks, I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your response – I’m currently away on annual leave as well, so I’ll pick this up with you when I return – it will probably be around mis-Sept as I’m already getting my time monopolised by various other commitments when I get back to the office!

It should be fairly simple to get you a bare-bones version to look at…

Many thanks, all the best, look forward to chatting soon… Dom

Hi Francois,

Thanks fore your response – I attempted to send you a note about 10 days ago saying I was on annual leave and would pick this up when back, but it looks like it didn’t send, so sorry for radio silence!

I’m back now but a bit buried in stuff – I’ll see if I can get someone to replicate the issue in a stripped-down project and share that shortly…

Many thanks, all the best, look forward to chatting soon… Dom

Hi Chris/all,

Apologies for not following up on this – the whole team has been heads-down on a major new release which doesn’t require video use…

I’ll re-open/re-post the issue when we have an example striped down project to share which replicates the issue…

Thanks as ever for you r help and apologies once again! Dom

Hi @fdegryse Are you able to provide a bare bones, simple test project to [email protected]

Hi @Chris-RH, terribly sorry for the delay, I just sent you an email (from my work email) with a small repro project using the latest package.

[Ste-RH]

On Android, I get the (your) error log fired:

E [MediaPlayerEvent] Error: LoadFailed

...is the issue just on Windows?

[Ste-RH]

Additionally. Windows (MediaFoundation) fires your error log. Windows (WinRT) does not.

[fdegryse]

If that helps, I get these behaviours on my side :

Windows Editor

• Media Foundation : error in the event handler
• Direct Show : no error in the event handler (but AVProVideo logs an error)
• WinRT : no error in the event handler (and no AVProVideo error log)

Android Editor Both Media Player and Exo Player fire the error to the event handler.
