VideoWidget fails to load video files on the Windows client. The widget remains in VideoState.NONE, with position and duration equal to 0. ON_ERROR fires before ON_LOAD or ON_PLAY.
The log reports “VideoWidget: Can't load video stream”.
We tested MP4/H.264 Main, MP4/H.264 Baseline and WebM/VP8 at 1920×1080, 30 FPS. Loading failed from the mod PBO, from $profile: after automatic copying, and from a relative video/ folder beside the executable.
The copied files match the originals. Windows Media Foundation successfully creates a source reader for these files outside DayZ. Unload() and error callbacks are implemented; the issue occurs on the first playback attempt.
