SOURCE_INVALID 1201

The SourceConfig provided to the load method is invalid. Ensure that the SourceConfig contains at least one valid source URL for any of the supported stream types on the current platform.

Common causes for this error include:

• play was called before a source has been loaded

• an empty SourceConfig object, or an object containing only empty strings instead of URLs was provided

• the SourceConfig object didn't contain dash, hls, progressive or smooth keys

• the provided source URL is not of type string

  The following examples show a few invalid source objects.

  @example

  var config = {
      key: "mykey"
  }
  // If you try to play without loading any source
  var player = new bitmovin.player.Player(document.getElementById('player'), config);
  player.play() // Will cause a SOURCE_INVALID
  
  // Empty source object.
  source = {};
  player.load(source) // Will cause a SOURCE_INVALID
  
  source = {
      poster: 'https://bitmovin-a.akamaihd.net/art-of-motion_drm/art-of-motion_poster.jpg',
  };
  player.load(source) // Will cause a SOURCE_NO_SUPPORTED_TECHNOLOGY
  player.play(); // Will cause a SOURCE_INVALID error

  In contrast, the following examples shows a valid source object.

  @example

  
  source = {
    title: 'Art of Motion',
    description: 'What is this event... Parcour?',
    dash: 'https://bitmovin-a.akamaihd.net/MI201109210084_1/mpds/f08e80da.mpd',
    hls: 'https://bitmovin-a.akamaihd.net/MI201109210084_1/m3u8s/f08e80da.m3u8',
    progressive: 'https://bitmovin-a.akamaihd.net/MI201109210084_1/MI201109210084.mp4',
    poster: 'https://bitmovin-a.akamaihd.net/art-of-motion_drm/art-of-motion_poster.jpg'
  };

Troubleshooting steps for an invalid source

• Validate your source config contains a valid entry for dash, hls, progressive or smooth.
