Error: Aerial has stopped working when connecting to Apple URL #115

Hi,

I'm using Windows 10 Pro. The screensaver doesn't work after installation. So I decided to download the code and play around.

I've disabled most of the mouse, key events, and display rendering, just let the form loaded as a normal window. I've tried to set URL property with different locations:

It's working for the first two, but with Apple Urls it shows error: "Aerial has stopped working" error

Here is the event log eventlog

I also tried opening the Apple URL in Windows Media Player, and it worked.

Not sure what is wrong, maybe something with the AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer :(

I would think it's blocked by a defender. I would think a large try catch block on the form level (getting the URL actually) would reveal something more exact.

I tried to put try catch block to every methods in the form still unable to catch any exception. The error only comes up when I hit play. I also tried to turn off autoStart, and call player.Ctlcontrols.play(); right after I set the URL, but it doesn't catch the exception.

I also tried turning off the Windows Defender as well as Firewall, but no luck.

Hi,

I tried to download the video from Apple URL. It's a .mov file and when I set the URL to the downloaded file, still error. I can open the file in Windows Media Player though. Weird.
