Unable to instantiate display node id 31, reason being: Character id doesn't exist #8837

Open DoomTay opened 1 year ago

Describe the bug

The website does not respond to mouseover or clicking events. Also, a small animation on the bottom does not show, which may be related.

The browser console shows the following output

Error running definition tag: DefineVideoStream, got Couldn't read SWF
Error running definition tag: DefineVideoStream, got Couldn't read SWF
Tried to instantiate non-registered character ID 31
Unable to instantiate display node id 31, reason being: Character id doesn't exist
Unhandled AVM1 error in timer callback: A script has thrown a custom error.

Seems like Ruffle is expecting an SWF, but is getting something else

Expected behavior

The website should show a video stream and then be able to respond to mouseover and click events

Affected platform

Browser's extension

Operating system

Windows 10

Browser

Firefox 108.0.1

This happens because this site uses external FLV video files. Ruffle does not support loading external video files yet. See #3801

This still isn't working with the upcoming FLV PRs.

I felt like revisiting this. I don't know when a fix was implemented, but videos seem to be working now.

I did notice that when looking at the videos under the Hahli/Downloads section, this came up in the console

ERROR core/src/library.rs:224 Tried to instantiate non-registered character undefined

And yet the video still played just fine, though it kept playing if I navigate away from the section. This is not the case when visiting the site through a Flash-enabled browser like Basilisk
