MediaClip.CreateFromFileAsync() throws System.ArgumentException

Hong 1,211

MediaClip videoClip = await MediaClip.CreateFromFileAsync(storageFileVideo);

The above code occasionally throws the following exception:

System.ArgumentException
   at System.Runtime.ExceptionServices.ExceptionDispatchInfo.Throw() + 0x21
   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ThrowForNonSuccess(Task) + 0x70
   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.HandleNonSuccessAndDebuggerNotification(Task) + 0x38
   at System.Runtime.CompilerServices.TaskAwaiter.ValidateEnd(Task) + 0x17

I want to emphasize that the code works flawlessly most of the time. It throws the exception only for some MP4 video files. When it throws the exception, I check the video file and it always plays perfectly. I even use Mp4 Explorer to examine the MP4 file and cannot find any problems.

Could anyone offer a tip on the possible causes?

Hello @Hong ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

It throws the exception only for some MP4 video files.

Do these MP4 files with problems have common features? Could you please provide some test files? Please do not include any personal privacy.

Thank you.
