I'm using Unity's Video Player component to play a short intro video before the main menu.

The problem is that its resolution is 2560x1440, and on Windows 7 or earlier operating systems it says:

Context: Setting media type for first video stream
Error details: The data specified for the media type is invalid, inconsistent, or not supported by this object.
Track types:
   Audio Track, type: %10%16
   Video Track [2560 x 1440], type: H264
      Resolution exceeds the Microsoft Media Foundation  decoder limit of 1920 x 1088 on Windows 7 and below.

Is there a way to check whether it's supported or not? Because then I could change the played video to a lower resolution version. And if that's not supported as well, I would just skip the intro all-together.

I would be happy with other solutions as well.

EDIT: What I'm trying now is:

  • subscribing to errorReceived,

  • and if currently it's the 1440p version, I switch back to the 1080p version and play it.

  • If errorReceived is fired again (so the current version is 1080p), I just skip the whole intro phase.

     videoPlayer.errorReceived += OnErrorReceived;

 ...

 private void OnErrorReceived(VideoPlayer videoPlayer, string message)
 {
     if (videoPlayer.clip == Intro1440p)
     {
         OnIntroFinished(videoPlayer);
         videoPlayer.clip = Intro1080p;
         videoPlayer.Play();
     }
     else
     {
         OnIntroFinished(videoPlayer);
     }
 }

Now the intro is skipped if no suitable format is found, which is good, but for some reason even the 1080p version is unsupported:

Context: Setting media type for first video stream
Error details: The data specified for the media type is invalid, inconsistent, or not supported by this object.
Track types:
   Audio Track, type: %10%16
   Video Track [1920 x 1080], type: H264

I've now added an 1080p wmv version, after all that's a Windows format, it must be supported by Windows 7.

But it's still unsupported:

Context: Setting media type for first video stream
Error details: The data specified for the media type is invalid, inconsistent, or not supported by this object.
Track types:
   Audio Track, type: a%01
   Video Track [1440 x 1080], type: WMV3

  • \$\begingroup\$ Sadly no. I tried improving it further, but it's still not good. At least now it's skipped if the video isn't supported, but I still can't figure out the supported format for Windows 7. \$\endgroup\$ Commented May 26, 2021 at 9:24
