Proxied MediaElement in OSMF does not dispatch MediaError

[hrasadi]

Hi,

According to OSMF docs, I can receive a MediaError event when the media loading fails via this:

mediaplayer.addEventListener(MediaErrorEvent.MEDIA_ERROR, onMediaError)

flashhls by the way does not dispatch this event when for example URL is not found. My proposal is to add some few lines to HLSLoadFromDocumentElement class. In the class constructor we can add:

    loader.addEventListener(MediaErrorEvent.MEDIA_ERROR, onMediaError);

and re-dispatch it again:

private function onMediaError(event:MediaErrorEvent):void {
dispatchEvent(event.clone());
}

Hi @hrasadi this kind of error should be catched here :
https://github.com/mangui/flashls/blob/master/src/org/mangui/osmf/plugins/loader/HLSLoaderBase.as#L141-L149, then redispatched to LoadTrait.
is that what you observe ? do you mean that HLSLoadDocumentFromElement is not redispatching the error automatically to the mediaPlayer ?

[hrasadi]

That's exactly what I mean @mangui. There are cases that I want to receive these kind of events from MediaPlayer directly (which itself dispatches MediaElement events) but this proxy element does not dispatch errors.

Hi @hrasadi,
then that sounds reasonable to do so.
I am including @myarcane to comment, as he contributed a couple of weeks back on flashls/OSMF error handling (see #38) and sometimes I am bit lost in OSMF jungle ;-)

@mangui I checked #38 and based on @myarcane's description it seems that my point is also covered. If so, it was my bad with my old version that caused the problem. I will test with a fresh checkout and reopen the issue if problem resists.

Sorry for the false alarm!
