Video Unity video broke the program, unity bug?!?

Hi!

From what I understand, after an hour of play-and-stop for 2 seconds, there's a JNI table overflow leading to the crash shown in your logcat. It's hard to tell the exact cause, but if you submit a bug with the exact config (Unity version, device model, build setup) and media you're using, we'll be able to give this a try and possibly repair.

It'd be useful to know if it happens on many devices, or just the one you've used for demonstration. Also, if by any chance you can have the problem scenario cause the trouble faster than 1h, it'll help a lot for trying to repeat over here. Maybe play for 0.5s instead of 2s, or possibly playing 2 clips at a time instead of one (although playing multiple clips may bring complexity in the evaluation...).

Thanks for reporting this, and hope we can fix this quickly!

Hi again,

This issue (https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...minutes-of-playing-video-and-switching-scenes) appears to be the same problem you are describing. If you are not the one who submitted it, please do make sure you upvote it in order to help with bugfix prioritization.

The reason for this bug is not fully understood yet. I'm not sure how much this can help, but there is a possibility that disabling "Multithreaded Rendering" on Android will work around the problem if this is acceptable in your context. You can disable this in the project settings, in the Player tab. This is under the "Other Settings" tab, in the Rendering section.

Hope this helps,

Dominique

 

OK, thanks for the info; I will join this additional info to the bug report to help direct the research.
