**Describe the bug (REQUIRED)** The example project of MPEG-1 crashes after 3s when I launch a build and play the video. I get the following error : ``` ERROR:CRASH: CALL STACK: ERROR:CRASH: 0 0x7FF6FB8E7510 dmCrash::GenerateCallstack D:\a\defold\defold\engine\crash\src\backtrace_win32.cpp:144 ERROR:CRASH: 1 0x7FF6FBC96E7C _seh_filter_exe /tmp/job2533409371619311117/minkernel/crts/ucrt/src/appcrt/misc/exception_filter.cpp:219 ERROR:CRASH: 2 0x7FF6FBCEA958 `__scrt_common_main_seh'::`1'::filt$0 D:\a\_work\1\s\src\vctools\crt\vcstartup\src\startup\exe_common.inl:304 ERROR:CRASH: 3 0x7FF6FBC55238 __C_specific_handler D:\a\_work\1\s\src\vctools\crt\vcruntime\src\eh\riscchandler.cpp:389 ERROR:CRASH: 4 0x7FFC9C6742F0 __chkstk :0 ERROR:CRASH: 5 0x7FFC9C5ED9D0 RtlFindCharInUnicodeString :0 ERROR:CRASH: 6 0x7FFC9C6733E0 KiUserExceptionDispatcher :0 ERROR:CRASH: 7 0x7FF6FB853770 plm_demux_decode /tmp/job2533409371619311117/upload/mpeg/src/pl_mpeg.h:2128 ERROR:CRASH: 8 0x7FF6FB852100 plm_read_audio_packet /tmp/job2533409371619311117/upload/mpeg/src/pl_mpeg.h:1223 ERROR:CRASH: 9 0x7FF6FB8534D0 plm_audio_decode /tmp/job2533409371619311117/upload/mpeg/src/pl_mpeg.h:3864 ERROR:CRASH: 10 0x7FF6FB853110 plm_decode /tmp/job2533409371619311117/upload/mpeg/src/pl_mpeg.h:1144 ERROR:CRASH: 11 0x7FF6FB85EFF0 Decode /tmp/job2533409371619311117/upload/mpeg/src/mpeg.cpp:177 ERROR:CRASH: 12 0x7FF6FB8610DE lj_BC_FUNCC :0 ERROR:CRASH: 13 0x7FF6FB8DE870 lua_pcall :0 ERROR:CRASH: 14 0x7FF6FB90E310 dmScript::PCallInternal D:\a\defold\defold\engine\script\src\script.cpp:1401 ERROR:CRASH: 15 0x7FF6FB976F20 dmGameObject::RunScript D:\a\defold\defold\engine\gameobject\src\gameobject\comp_script.cpp:144 ERROR:CRASH: 16 0x7FF6FB977120 dmGameObject::CompScriptUpdateInternal D:\a\defold\defold\engine\gameobject\src\gameobject\comp_script.cpp:240 ERROR:CRASH: 17 0x7FF6FB949970 dmGameObject::Update D:\a\defold\defold\engine\gameobject\src\gameobject\gameobject.cpp:2617 ERROR:CRASH: 18 0x7FF6FB9CF030 dmEngine::StepFrame D:\a\defold\defold\engine\engine\src\engine.cpp:1683 ERROR:CRASH: 19 0x7FF6FB9C9EA0 dmEngineUpdate D:\a\defold\defold\engine\engine\src\engine.cpp:2218 ERROR:CRASH: 20 0x7FF6FB9CFAD0 dmEngine::RunLoop D:\a\defold\defold\engine\engine\src\engine_loop.cpp:83 ERROR:CRASH: 21 0x7FF6FB8D4C10 engine_main D:\a\defold\defold\engine\engine\src\engine_main.cpp:152 ERROR:CRASH: 22 0x7FF6FBC54DE4 __scrt_common_main_seh D:\a\_work\1\s\src\vctools\crt\vcstartup\src\startup\exe_common.inl:288 ERROR:CRASH: 23 0x7FFC9B4E2560 BaseThreadInitThunk :0 ERROR:CRASH: 24 0x7FFC9C62AA30 RtlUserThreadStart :0 ERROR:CRASH: Lua Callstack: ERROR:CRASH: example/player.script:36: in function ERROR:CRASH: INFO:CRASH: Successfully wrote Crashdump to file: C:\Users\Rezgi\AppData\Roaming\Defold/_crash ERROR:CRASH: CALL STACK: ERROR:CRASH: 0 0x7FF6FB853770 plm_demux_decode /tmp/job2533409371619311117/upload/mpeg/src/pl_mpeg.h:2128 ERROR:CRASH: 1 0x7FF6FB852100 plm_read_audio_packet /tmp/job2533409371619311117/upload/mpeg/src/pl_mpeg.h:1223 ERROR:CRASH: 2 0x7FF6FB8534D0 plm_audio_decode /tmp/job2533409371619311117/upload/mpeg/src/pl_mpeg.h:3864 ERROR:CRASH: 3 0x7FF6FB853110 plm_decode /tmp/job2533409371619311117/upload/mpeg/src/pl_mpeg.h:1144 ERROR:CRASH: 4 0x7FF6FB85EFF0 Decode /tmp/job2533409371619311117/upload/mpeg/src/mpeg.cpp:177 ERROR:CRASH: 5 0x7FF6FB8610DE lj_BC_FUNCC :0 ERROR:CRASH: 6 0x7FF6FB8DE870 lua_pcall :0 ERROR:CRASH: 7 0x7FF6FB90E310 dmScript::PCallInternal D:\a\defold\defold\engine\script\src\script.cpp:1401 ERROR:CRASH: 8 0x7FF6FB976F20 dmGameObject::RunScript D:\a\defold\defold\engine\gameobject\src\gameobject\comp_script.cpp:144 ERROR:CRASH: 9 0x7FF6FB977120 dmGameObject::CompScriptUpdateInternal D:\a\defold\defold\engine\gameobject\src\gameobject\comp_script.cpp:240 ERROR:CRASH: 10 0x7FF6FB949970 dmGameObject::Update D:\a\defold\defold\engine\gameobject\src\gameobject\gameobject.cpp:2617 ERROR:CRASH: 11 0x7FF6FB9CF030 dmEngine::StepFrame D:\a\defold\defold\engine\engine\src\engine.cpp:1683 ERROR:CRASH: 12 0x7FF6FB9C9EA0 dmEngineUpdate D:\a\defold\defold\engine\engine\src\engine.cpp:2218 ERROR:CRASH: 13 0x7FF6FB9CFAD0 dmEngine::RunLoop D:\a\defold\defold\engine\engine\src\engine_loop.cpp:83 ERROR:CRASH: 14 0x7FF6FB8D4C10 engine_main D:\a\defold\defold\engine\engine\src\engine_main.cpp:152 ERROR:CRASH: 15 0x7FF6FBC54DE4 __scrt_common_main_seh D:\a\_work\1\s\src\vctools\crt\vcstartup\src\startup\exe_common.inl:288 ERROR:CRASH: 16 0x7FFC9B4E2560 BaseThreadInitThunk :0 ERROR:CRASH: 17 0x7FFC9C62AA30 RtlUserThreadStart :0 ERROR:CRASH: Lua Callstack: ERROR:CRASH: example/player.script:36: in function ERROR:CRASH: INFO:CRASH: Successfully wrote MiniDump to file: C:\Users\Rezgi\AppData\Roaming\Defold/_crash.dmp ``` **To Reproduce (REQUIRED)** Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1.

Thanks for the reply. It does it with the video file provided in the example (bunny), and also another one of mine. I used the sample project without changing anything, should I still provide my project or just post the issue on github? ---

I created a bug report [on Github [9237]](https://github.com/defold/defold/issues/9237). ---

The Defold example project also crashes for me (Ubuntu), when run from the editor. It runs for a reported 3.91 seconds then crashes. The call stack includes references to: extension-videoplayer-mpeg/build/x86\_64-linux/dmengine and: example/player.script:36: in function \ This is: mpeg.decode(dt \* self.playback\_speed) If I increase the value of this parameter by \*6 it does not crash. However the video is very choppy, and after the first run through has sync problems. ---
