Question

I’m creating a small HTML5-based website. At some point I want to play a sound. I’m playing the sound like this:

    sound = new Audio(url);
    sound.addEventListener("error", function(e) { 
               console.log("Logging playback error: " + e); });
    sound.load();
    sound.play();

When an error occurs, I can’t figure out what’s in e. Unfortunately the error occurs only on an iPad, so I can’t use Firebug to debug it. Nowhere in the documentation did I found the description of the argument.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

I probably found that error message object. The error code is in sound.error.code or also e.currentTarget.error.code property and it can contain one of the following 4 digits:

MEDIA_ERR_ABORTED=1
MEDIA_ERR_NETWORK=2
MEDIA_ERR_DECODE=3
MEDIA_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED=4
