AVPlayerStatusFailed and error code "Cannot Decode"
c4, ios
Solution
I had a look into this problem.

At first I thought this might be a problem with the way that the C4Movie class is constructed, or because of the kinds / size of media that you were playing.
However, the link above describes the problem (straight from Apple's developer support):
AVFoundation is limited to 4 video pipelines due to hardware constraints. This means that only 4 video players can be initialized at any given time.
Problem
I am working with the C4 Alpha and I came across two errors that i cant seem to figure out how to solve. My code setup is the following: ``` -(void)setup { [self setupFrames]; m1 = [[MyMovie alloc] initWithMovieName:@"d3.mov" andFrame:iPadLandscape]; [m1 addGesture:PAN name:@"panGesture" action:@"move:"]; [self.canvas addMovie:m1]; m2 = [[MyMovie alloc] initWithMovieName:@"e2.mov" andFrame:iPadLandscape]; [m2 addGesture:PAN name:@"panGesture" action:@"move:"]; [self.canvas addMovie:m2]; m3 = [[MyMovie alloc] initWithMovieName:@"e1.mov" andFrame:iPadLandscape]; [m3 addGesture:PAN name:@"panGesture" action:@"move:"]; [self.canvas addMovie:m3]; m4 = [[MyMovie alloc] initWithMovieName:@"d4.mov" andFrame:iPodPortrait]; [m4 addGesture:PAN name:@"panGesture" action:@"move:"]; [self.canvas addMovie:m4]; m5 = [[MyMovie alloc] initWithMovieName:@"o1.mov" andFrame:iPodLandscape]; [m5 addGesture:PAN name:@"panGesture" action:@"move:"]; [self.canvas addMovie:m5]; m6 = [[MyMovie alloc] initWithMovieName:@"o2.mov" andFrame:iPodLandscape]; [m6 addGesture:PAN name:@"panGesture" action:@"move:"]; [self.canvas addMovie:m6]; ``` } The two errors i'm having truble with are: - "AVPlayerStatusFailed" on C4 and - "Cannot Decode, the decoder required for this media is busy." on my canvas, plus some of the videos in the canvas show as black squares. I tried to follow the answers giving on this previous post but i dont know to apply it to C4. https://stackoverflow.com/a/8621889/1362038 Any ideas how to fix this?
