AVErrorFailedToParse error?

Can anyone elaborate on AVErrorFailedToParse error?


It was introduced in iOS 8, but there are no documentation for it.

+1 -- We are seeing this same error quite often, and are at a loss as to what it means. We were thinking it might mean the m3u8 file is not well-formatted, but in testing with intentionally mangled manifest files, we did not see this error code. Also, it seems to be intermittent -- not always happning for the same stream, etc.


Would love to know what this means.

I'm just adding a "me too" response here.


(I always wonder whether AVFoundation errors should be classified as "acts of God". They seem to just happen with no warning, obvious cause, or recourse. As a developer, I sit here saying, "What did I do to deserve a -11853?" and there's nothing but silence in response.)
