Funky errors using MPMoviePlayerViewController

Question

Does anyone know what these error's mean? I get this when I click a button to play a video (download over internet on demand style).

The problem I'm having is that my video plays with no audio. In fact the audio volume bar goes away completely on load.

I have the feeling it has something to do with these errors heh.

Answer 1

HDA is an audio format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_High_Definition_Audio). Since the Mac uses different audio and video drivers, there have been certain situations where types of audio or video won't play in the simulator since it doesn't actually implement the full software stack found on device. In this case, it looks like the driver for the HDA audio your videos use isn't available on Mac.

This doesn't mean your Mac can't play HDA audio just that the exact plugin that iOS is looking for isn't available. So it just disables the audio portion of the video and goes ahead and plays what it can.

Historically you used to not be able to play YouTube videos in the simulator while they would work fine on device. This again was a case of a missing plugin. Newer versions of the iOS simulator have a stub plugin that translates between the Mac's abilities and how the simulator wants to access them.
