Windows 10 error

[AymanKhafageJathwa]

I have issue when run library in windows 10.
Error is"The byte stream type of the given URL is unsupported. (Exception from HRESULT: 0xC00D36C4)"

This error is MF_MEDIA_ENGINE_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED. In other words, Media Foundation doesn't know how to play this file type. So if could be a corrupted stream, or a format that Windows doesn't have codecs for.

[AymanKhafageJathwa]

No, files not corrupted. I tested the file, and it plays in Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 using windows media player.
However, when I need to use NAudio.dll to play the audio file in Windows 10, the audio file does not work.
On other hand, in Windows 8.1, I can play the same audio file using the same NAudio.dll.

what sort of file is it?
what URL are you using? (a local file or streaming from the web?)
what reader are you using to open it? (MediaFoundationReader?)
what line of code is the error being thrown from?

[AymanKhafageJathwa]

• .Wav
• It is local file
• MediaFoundationReader
• using MediaFoundationReader

AAC inside of WAV? That's quite unusual. What happens when you just use WaveFileReader?

[AymanKhafageJathwa]

That was only an error inside my comments.

[AymanKhafageJathwa]

i use this reader to convert from any type of media to WAV file.

[markheath]

so what happens if you open this file with WaveFileReader? MediaFoundationReader is not needed for WAV file playback.

Is the file extension literally ".Wav"? Can you also try making the extension lower case - ".wav"

[AymanKhafageJathwa]

i want to use MediaFoundationReader to read any audio type to ensure if this audio or not before convert it.

[braincraft359]

why is this closed?

[braincraft359]

what's the solution to the problem?

[jakoss]

Well, Mark asked Ayman to try out WaveFileReader to give some more insight. He didn't get it so he couldn't help

[AymanKhafageJathwa]

In this method i don't read the wave file to use WaveFileReader, but i read and audio type so that i use MediaFoundationReader .
MediaFoundationReader doesn't compatible with windows 10
Thanks

when you say Windows 10 do you mean as a UWP app? If so, yes, you can't use MediaFoundationReader. There is an experimental MediaFoundationReaderRT that the UWP demo app uses that might work for you.

I have a .WMA file that reliably reproduces this error on Windows 7 if you'd like it. MediaFoundationReader was throwing this COM error on a very small minority of WMA files I saved with random file names (and extensions) from Path.GetRandomFileName(). Adding the correct ".wma" suffix, or opening the files myself and using StreamMediaFoundationReader() opens the same files with no problems.

The files were created with MediaFoundationEncoder.EncodeToWma().

[markheath]

Are you saying that it always works if you have a ".wma" extension? If so, then why not just use that?

[bentorkington]

It does, and I do now. I'm just trying to shine some light on possible causes of whatever might be causing this issue.
