[4.13 Preview 1] Editor Crash - UE4Editor_WmfMedia!FWmfMediaTracks::SetAudioSink()

LeFxGuy · August 4, 2016, 4:46pm

Hi,

I am observing a crash when I create a media player with a corresponding media texture. After I start to play any of the new FileMedia Source assets I randomly get the following crash:

See below for call stack.
I am not sure if a MediaPlayer asset now needs a soundwave to be set but it appears that creating an emtpy sound asset fixes the crashes.
You can also observe the crash when trying to delete the media player and texture asset after playing the video.

Hey LeFxGuy,

I appreciate you providing me with your crash and some steps to reproduce. However; I have been unable to reproduce the crash you are experiencing so I am going to need some simple steps and screenshots as the Media Framework has changed a good bit, and calling it to play can be done in different ways.

I am using a simple variable within my Level Blueprint and calling the Open Url function.

Let me know if you have further questions or need additional assistance.

Cheers,

Hey Andrew,

No nothing with blueprints. My crashes solely come from doing stuff in the content browser. In your case, just try to delete your media player asset from the content browser after playing it from the content browser at least once, not sure if it always fails, not tried yet.

Create a new MediaFileSource
pointing to a movie, my case mp4 and avi
files
Create a Media Player (MP) asset
with a video texture (not sure if
the texture is needed)
Start
Playing the video in the MP from the content browser
After a few times, the editor
crashes for me but at last when i
try to delete the Media player asset
after closing it, same error as
above.
If i create a media sound
wave asset and feed it into the
MP asset slot, i can delete the
MP asset afterwards without the
crash. So there must be some kind if
nullpointer check missing somewhere.

btw on a side note. I think that when you put the movie files into the content folder, the editor should automatically use a relative path. This is atm not the case, at least wasnt for me. I imported the movies from content/movies but the path in the source file asset was absolute, thus packaging worked and the movie got packaged but when moving the package to another PC, the video loading fails.
Also there was this wierd thing that after me chaning 1 of 4 source files to a relative path with “./Movies/file.avi” for eaxmple, the other 3 source assets adjusted their path to relative. That was really weird… dont know if you can reproduce this as well but maybe check once or twice for yourself maybe you have that happen to you as well

anonymous_user_6e7b421a · August 8, 2016, 3:44pm

Hey again LeFxGuy,

Hope you had a good weekend. I have been messing around with the Media Player and have not been able to get it to crash. I tried imported a number of media source files, creating a Media Player based off the source files, deleting the Media Player, and changing the relative path for the source files as well. Nothing produced a crash on my end.

Could you provide me with your crash logs attached in your response so I can seek out your crash and gather more information in regards to the context? It is going to be hard to report a bug unless I have some solid repro steps which get the crash to occur on my end.

Let me know if you have additional questions or need further assistance.

Cheers,

LeFxGuy · August 8, 2016, 6:11pm

Hey Andrew,

As i was able to reproduce this crash on my home PC with the steps above. As the crash is audio related, did you try a video that does not contain an audio track?

anonymous_user_6e7b421a · August 8, 2016, 7:43pm

Hey ,

Thanks for checking again, I was able to narrow down the exact repro, and have gone ahead and entered a bug report for the issue. You can track the issue following the link below on our new Public Issues Tracker.

UE-34381

Once the issue has been addressed by our engineers, the fix will be added to the release notes for fixed issues within an upcoming full engine or hotfix release.

Let me know if you have further questions or need additional assistance.

Cheers,

LeFxGuy · August 8, 2016, 10:38pm

Well as I said, for me, it’s ok to create a MP assetr with an attached audio wave or video texture, just a clean MP asset but I think this is the same crash, no matter what. So thanks and I am glad you could repro this.
