VideoPlayer-MPEG crash on Play

[rezgi]

Is it a private platform, and a platform specific issue? (i.e. would it break your NDA?)

Then please report your issue in the corresponding extension repository!

Describe the bug (REQUIRED)
When I launch the build of the VideoPlayer-MPEG example project, it plays the video for 2-3s then crashes every time. I didn't change anything in the example, I also tried with another video and I had the same problem. I tried with the other VideoPlayer extension and it works fine.

I get the following error :

Ok thanks. So next time I always need to report issues on the related extension right ?

Yes, please!

[rezgi]

Noted. Sorry about that.

[padreputativo]

Same behavior in Ubuntu Linux, it crashes a few seconds into playing the video.

[padreputativo]

Apparently, if you press Stop and then hit Play, the crash is fixed.

I did that too before and it worked a few more seconds before it crashed again.

[padreputativo]

changing this, works for me

[padreputativo]

It doesn't fix the issue for all videos. It continues to crash.

[rezgi]

Interesting to note :

• the video playback lasts a bit longer on mobile (Redmi 7A, Android 10). It goes up to 6-7s before freezing.
• still on mobile, if we swap between 2 videos frequently, the playback doesn't crash until the end of the video
