Bink media crash

[Unreal_Programme]

I’m using UE5.6.1 and the bink media plugin, but I keep getting a crash when creating a media texture. How can I fix this without updating the engine? (For my game, 5.6.1 is the most stable version, so updating the engine will be difficult.)

Hey there @Unreal_Programme! Could I see the error call stack for the crash?

It could be related to this issue:

For anyone who’s building the Engine from source, this appears to be fixable for the time being by specifying ETextureCreateFlags::UAV where the RHI Texture Creation Description is setup – which can be found under Engine\Plugins\BinkMedia\Source\BinkMediaPlayer\Private\Assets\BinkMediaTextureResource.cpp in FBinkMediaTextureResource::InitRHI on L44. Currently: const FRHITextureCreateDesc Desc = FRHITextureCreateDesc::Create2D(DebugName) .SetExtent(w, h) .SetFormat(PixelFormat) .SetFlag…

The fix however would require you to be working from the source build of the engine.

I havent source build of the engine. Can i edit the plugin script?

If the plugin requires a source build to generate you will likely be in the same boat, but if it doesn’t require it you could copy the source, make alterations to make it a different plugin in name, and compile it in the plugin folder. I’m not sure if that’d be possible in this case due to not utilizing the Bink plugin myself.
