Errors

Bitmovin Player communicates errors via events, such as PlayerErrorEvent, SourceErrorEvent, OfflineErrorEvent and AdErrorEvent. To learn about listening to events, please refer to Listening to Events.

Every error event exposes a numeric error code, which can help to identify the source of the specific error.

These error codes can originate from different frameworks:

• Bitmovin Player specific errors produced by the Bitmovin Player SDK
• Errors produced by the frameworks provided by the operating system, like AVFoundation, CoreMedia, CFNetwork, etc.
• Errors produced by opt-in third-party dependencies, like Google IMA SDK

To identify the meaning of error codes please refer to the following resources:

• Bitmovin Player Errors Overview
• Error codes produced by the operating system on iOS, tvOS and visionOS
• Google IMA SDK Error Codes

Logging

To enable exhaustive debug logging, please refer to Logging in the iOS & tvOS Player SDK.
