[Crash] URL in Media Player

Development Platform & Builds
, , , ,
1

Spec: UE4.10 on Mac OS X El Capitan, iMac 27-inch, Late 2013, 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7, 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB

  1. Intermittently (depending on file size), the UE4 editor will crash when I go to replace a video clip inside the media player using the file browser accessed through the “…” after the URL field.

  2. Consistently (regardless of file size), the UE4 editor will crash when I go to replace a video clip inside the media player by editing the URL field and hitting return.

  3. Consistently (regardless of file size), the UE4 editor will crash when I try to unload or reload a video into the media player using blueprint nodes.

  4. Consistently (regardless of file size), I can get a video clip to load using the media player’s file browser, after a crash and restart of the UE4 editor.

Perhaps, the editor isn’t unloading the media file correctly before it tries to load a new one. The bigger the file size the more temperamental is seems to be when using the file browser, but the other methods consistently crash the editor.

Thanks, for looking into this issue, really hoping the media editor can receive more love before 4.11.

Sincerely, Jason W,
