Description

Here is the initial MediaFile success callback
"S01 Capture1970865120 [

{"lastModifiedDate":1375937605000,"fullPath":"file:\/\/\/mnt\/sdcard\/DCIM\/Camera\/video-2013-08-08-14-53-17.mp4","type":"video\/mp4","size":1824506,"name":"video-2013-08-08-14-53-17.mp4"}

]"

Then try to get the format information about the media file using
mediaFile.getFormatData(getFormatDataWin, getFormatDataError);

In Capture.java getAudioVideoData an exception is thrown by mediaplayer.prepare()
java.io.IOException: Prepare failed.: status=0xFFFFFFFC
The error is logged but ignored.
"Error: loading video file"

The Capture.java execute method calls success on the callback context.
Here is the getFormatData success callback message
"S01 Capture1970865121

{"codecs":"","bitrate":0,"duration":0,"height":0,"width":0}

"

Error callback is never returned for action "getFormatData".

Also what happens if another exception which is not caught is thrown? e.g. IllegalStateException
It appears that no callback would be made in this case.
