AudioContext.decodeAudioData() fails with 'EncodingError: Decoding failed' error #1513
Description
Safari 15 beta 4 @ MacOS Catalina v10.15.7
The following code fails to play mp3 audio file with EncodingError: Decoding failed error:
loadAudioWithHowler() {
const audio = new Howl({
src: 'https://bug2report.s3.amazonaws.com/popup.mp3',
preload: false,
html5: false,
})
.on('load', () => {
console.log(`+++ loaded`);
})
.on('loaderror', (id, message) => {
console.log(`+++ error -> ${message}`);
});
audio.load();
}Corresponding howler.core.js function with added error parameter:
...
var decodeAudioData = function(arraybuffer, self) {
// Fire a load error if something broke.
var error = function(error) {
self._emit('loaderror', null, `Decoding audio data failed: ${error}`);
};
// Load the sound on success.
var success = function(buffer) {
if (buffer && self._sounds.length > 0) {
cache[self._src] = buffer;
loadSound(self, buffer);
} else {
error();
}
};
// Decode the buffer into an audio source.
if (typeof Promise !== 'undefined' && Howler.ctx.decodeAudioData.length === 1) {
Howler.ctx.decodeAudioData(arraybuffer).then(success).catch(error);
} else {
Howler.ctx.decodeAudioData(arraybuffer, success, error);
}
}
