Description

When a video url is not available, the video player just shows a spinning activity indicator. We need a way to check if the media is available and to show an error if it is not.

Test case

var win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({backgroundColor:"black"});
  
var activeMovie = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
    url: url
});
 
win.add(activeMovie);
  
win.open();

// NEED AN EVENT TO GET THE 404 ERROR

As a workaround, a timeout can be set. The timeout can be canceled by the 'load' event.

   var timeout = setTimeout(function() {
   	alert("TIMEOUT ERROR!");
   }, 10000);
   	
   activeMovie.addEventListener('load', function(e){
   	clearTimeout(timeout);
   	timeout = null;
   });
