Error Codes

info

The library follows hexadecimal error system. The least significant 16-bits (Bits 0-15) indicate a Component Error Code and the most significant 16-bits (Bits 16-31) indicate the Categories that the error falls into.

Error Category	Mask	Description
Network Error	0x10000	Indicates that the error occurrence is network. related
Server Error	0x20000	Indicates a server response failure.
Thirdparty Error	0x40000	Indicates a failure in thirdparty components such as External Player, Thirdparty Libraries etc.,
Reserved	0x80000	Reserved for future use.
Reserved	0x100000	Reserved for future use.
Reserved	0x200000	Reserved for future use.
Playback Error	0x400000	Indicates that the error occurrence is during a Playback.
Download Error	0x800000	Indicates that the error occurrence is during a Download.

Interpretation of Errors

• 0x40* - Playback Error most probably due to player itself.
• 0x41* - Playback error due to Network failure.
• 0x42* - Playback error due to Server response failure.
• 0x80* - Download error most probably due to the downloader itself.
• 0x81* - Download error due to Network failure.
• 0x82* - Download error due to Server response failure.

Error Code	Hexadecimal value	Component Error Code	Description
MEDIA_SOURCE_FAILURE	0x400201	0x201	Indicates that an error has occurred while loading the MediaSource.
MEDIA_SOURCE_TIMEOUT	0x400202	0x202	Indicates that Fetching of the Media Source from network timed-out.
DRM_PROVISIONING_FAILURE	0x400203	0x203	Indicates that an error has occurred while Provisioning Model Certificates on the specific device.
DRM_PROVISIONING_TIMEOUT	0x400204	0x204	Indicates that Fetching of DRM Provisioning Data from Network Timed-Out.
DRM_LICENSE_FAILURE	0x400205	0x205	Indicates that an error has occurred while Loading DRM Keys for a particular content either from network (or) persistent storage.
DRM_LICENSE_TIMEOUT	0x400206	0x206	Indicates that Fetching of DRM Keys from network timed-out.
DRM_LICENSE_EXPIRED	0x400207	0x207	Indicates that Loaded DRM Keys are expired.
MEDIA_PLAYBACK_FAILURE	0x400208	0x208	Indicates that rendering of media failed.
MEDIA_PLAYBACK_STALE	0x400209	0x209	Indicates Player playback has stalled.

Error Object

The Error object returned by the library is a linked list that traces the error occurrence from an higer-level component, to the lower-level component where the error actually occurred.

Example

The Player component can talk to an internal component that in turn talks to head-end server. If the server returns an error-ful response, the Error object returned from the player component might have internalError property set to the error thrown by the internal component which might actually be a server error information.

The more deeper we go in the linked list , the more specific the Error would be. It's upto the application developers to utilize the depth of Error information as they desire.
