[Question] Build failed on Windows 10 and Flutter 3.7 about media-kit HOT 18 CLOSED

make sure media_kit_libs_windows_video is in your pubspec

from media-kit.

it has to do with media_kit_video, the above mentioned error occurs as soon as having media_kit_video in the dependencies list of pubspec.yaml, without even have to using it

from media-kit.

It's likely an access violation within C++ implementation of package:media_kit_video.

Make sure you are on latest version from Git i.e. specify the ref (latest commit hash) in your pubspec.yaml. Flutter does not detect changes in Git dependencies.

from media-kit.

Specify ref like this (but use latest from main branch): #17 (comment).

I have serious exam situation, so I'm not available before next month.

from media-kit.

no hurry, but still no luck even with latest commits and master/beta channel

it comes down to this i think

i think i got that right with the ref

  media_kit:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/alexmercerind/media_kit
      path: media_kit
      ref: c63aecfbe4db223b11a27a12ad261832fe8d0c36
  media_kit_video:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/alexmercerind/media_kit
      path: media_kit_video
      ref: 13ab81338b3ba88fd0be7196edfd18805741dd93

from media-kit.

20c46b5 is latest ref.
Use it for both packages. Confirm if it still crashes. If not, close this.

from media-kit.

unfortunately it still crashes

  media_kit:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/alexmercerind/media_kit
      path: media_kit
      ref: 20c46b58bb5c8a9e749b6b9760234281e7bf2e02
  media_kit_video:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/alexmercerind/media_kit
      path: media_kit_video
      ref: 20c46b58bb5c8a9e749b6b9760234281e7bf2e02

from media-kit.

you may need to delete the build folder completely

from media-kit.

@Quackdoc did not help :(

from media-kit.

it works now, yay. thank you both

from media-kit.

Yup. New versions won't build without it.

I didn't quite understand your issue if you were facing compile time issue or that memory access violation.

from media-kit.

initially I had both media_kit_libs_windows_video and media_kit_libs_windows_audio in my pubspec, but not the latest commit ref, so that was the missing point, but while testing around I removed those packages unfortunately

from media-kit.

still (or again) experiencing issues after trying to move from the working example project to my real project.
current status is that not even the example project is working anymore (I guess because it is created from scratch after I thought I don't need it anymore)

it compiles with no errors, but it does not launch.
when trying to launch the generated build manually from build\windows\runner\Debug or build\windows\runner\Release it says that libmpv-2.dll is missing. but there is a mpv-2.dll, so I copied that file and renamed it to libmpv-2.dll and the app launches and I can see the screen for a second or two than it crashes.
btw: it crashes only when really using the package in main.dart.
I have no idea how I got it to work yesterday, I guess because I had some variations of the git-url in my pubspec.yaml prior to the final one with the latest ref in it. I tried to reconctstruct my steps from yesterday but did not suceed

from media-kit.

Don't keep both libs package. READ THE README.

from media-kit.

As long as our CI is passing, everything is alright.

There is a decent application in repository with working pubspec.yaml & main.dart, what else is needed or expected from open source?

from media-kit.

oh man really, yeah you are right. damn you media_kit_libs_windows_audio. sorry for the inconvenience

the README should really say to NOT EVER USE both media_kit_libs_windows_video and media_kit_libs_windows_audio packages :-)

from media-kit.

It's not like there will always be only these 2 packages. They are variant of a same thing. In future, there might be 5 or 6 targetting different features to focus on modularity.

It does clarify everything, read the comment in README.

from media-kit.

you are completely right, I really could AND SHOULD have figured that out on my own

from media-kit.
