Failed to create player about unityplugin-avprovideo HOT 22 CLOSED

Hello!

I'm facing the exact same issue. If I close the app with Application.Quit(); during the video play, then I can re open it with no problem. If I close the app after the video finishes playing, then I got the message: "[AVProVideo] Failed to create player instance".

from unityplugin-avprovideo.

We've just released a new version of AVPro Video (v.1.9.17) which should fix this issue. Please do test it and let us know if if this resolves it for you.

Thanks,

from unityplugin-avprovideo.

We'll close this issue in a couple of days, as we've proposed a solution (new plugin version) but haven't heard anything back. If you're still having this issue with the new version please do let us know.

Thanks,

from unityplugin-avprovideo.

The issue still persist after update.

My setup:

Unity version: 2018.4.2f1
AVPro Video version: 1.9.17

@joker-gizmo
Thanks for reporting this - could you provide more details on how to replicate this issue?

from unityplugin-avprovideo.

The problem was with another native plugin which is not terminate their thread correctly on quit. There was a bunch of errors on quit and after restart no one plugin was able to init. Sorry, for misleading you

from unityplugin-avprovideo.

Great to hear you found the issue, i'll close this ticket now

Hi!

Sorry for the delayed response.

I tested the new version (1.9.17) and have to say that the problem is still present. I made a small test project to show the issue, and realized that I'm when the video ends I disable the GameObject with the MediaPlayer attached and that is causing the problem. If I don't disable the GameObject or quit the app before the video ends, all goes fine.

To reproduce:

1. Create a new project and import AvPro 1.9.17.
2. Add a MediaPlayer, a Display UGui and link them so a video can be viewed. For simplicity let AutoOpen and AutoPlay to true. Add a video (any from StreamingAssets will work).
3. Create a GameObject and attach this script:

using RenderHeads.Media.AVProVideo;
using UnityEngine;
    
public class Manager : MonoBehaviour{
    public MediaPlayer player;

    void Start() {
        player.Events.AddListener(PlayerEvent);
    }

    void Update() {
        if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape)){
            Application.Quit();
        }
    }

    public void PlayerEvent(MediaPlayer player, MediaPlayerEvent.EventType eventType, ErrorCode error){
        switch(eventType){
            case MediaPlayerEvent.EventType.FinishedPlaying:
                player.CloseVideo(); // The problem occurs regardless of this line
                player.gameObject.SetActive(false); // <-- If you remove this line, the problem dissapears.
            break;
        }
    }    
}

4. Attach the script to the new GameObject.
5. Attach the MediaPlayer to the Manager script.
6. Compile and run the app on Android.
7. When the app start, let the video play to the end and press back button to quit the app.
8. Launch the app again, the app will freeze and the logcat shows:
   [AVProVideo] Failed to create player instance

If you want I can send you the project I made to test it.

Thanks!

Also receiving this issue on Android 9 with unity 2019.1.11f, happens always after Application.Quit(); and returning and running the game again. very annoying to players.
using the latest version 1.10.0
If closing the app using the home button, it seems the videos are working and i do not get this error.

Any fix for this or maybe should i use something to dipose AVPRO on Application.quit?

Hmm...seems that this issue is still happening (sorry we only noticed now as we don't get notifications on Closed issues)

from unityplugin-avprovideo.

Yes, it does :\ Whatever I tried to clean AVProVideo before quit game did not work.

from unityplugin-avprovideo.

Any update on this?
I'll do note that I do open a few instances of AVProVideo in order to pre-prepare a video in a sequence.
If I Application.Quit() without init any video the problem does not occur.

Hi,

I can confirm that this is still happening.

My workarround was to quit the app using Android native code:

    public static void QuitApp(){
    #if UNITY_ANDROID
        AndroidJavaClass player = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer");
        AndroidJavaObject androidActivity = player.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity");
        if(androidActivity!=null){
           androidActivity.Call("finishAffinity");
           AndroidJavaClass system = new AndroidJavaClass("java.lang.System");
           system.CallStatic("exit", new object[]{0});
        }
    #else
        Application.Quit();
    #endif
    }

This is working on Unity 2019.1.14f1, Unity 2018.4.2f1, on Android 8 and 9.

@parmaia thanks for the update. I less prefer this solution, but it's better than nothing until fixed.
I'll try it out.

from unityplugin-avprovideo.

@parmaia For some reason, i get an error on:
AndroidJavaClass System = AndroidNativeInterface.GetClass("java.lang.System");
'AndroidNativeInterface' does not exist in the current context
When compling to APK

from unityplugin-avprovideo.

@ColorTwist sorry, I kind of messed up with my sample code. I have a class for native calls and one line went into my sample code.

This is the good code:

    public static void QuitApp(){
    #if UNITY_ANDROID
        AndroidJavaClass player = new AndroidJavaClass("com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer");
        AndroidJavaObject androidActivity = player.GetStatic<AndroidJavaObject>("currentActivity");
        if(androidActivity!=null){
           androidActivity.Call("finishAffinity");
           AndroidJavaClass system = new AndroidJavaClass("java.lang.System");
           system.CallStatic("exit", new object[]{0});
        }
    #else
        Application.Quit();
    #endif
    }

I tested this on Unity 2018.4.2f1 and Untiy 2019.1.14f1 and on Android 8 and Android 9.

Again, sorry for the mistake.

from unityplugin-avprovideo.

I have this problem too, but I dont have any native code, is there way to do it from C# in unity?

from unityplugin-avprovideo.

@nsmith1024 You can use the QuitApp() method in my previous comment. It is C#.

from unityplugin-avprovideo.

OK, thanks i w ill try it, i was wondering should I replace "com.unity3d.player.UnityPlayer" with my app package name? what about "currentActivity" do i have to change that?
