Coded UI playback fails

I have a web-application with 2 custom drop down lists, first one populates the second one, when recording i can select a value from the first one and the second gets populated successfully but during playback the test fails, because the second
ddl doesn't get populated

Hello,
I think, it is because while you playback your script, the second dropdown is not yet ready.
you can have playback settings configured for this test method.
There are several methods which can help you to check readiness of UI control like WaitForControlReady.

Below link is for more information about PlaybackSettings class.

Coded UI test fails to close browser due to window title

Hi. I am using Visual Studio 2012.
At the end of my test, I wish to close the browser (IE), but I am having issues because my application version is displayed in the Tab of the browser and this changes with every build. When the test runs, the application cannot find the window because
of the Title. Is there a way to ignore the title and close the browser?
The message in the stack trace is: Unable to find Windows Internet Explorer window with "my app version - Internet Explorer' in the title. -->Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITest.Extension.UITestControlNot FoundException: The playback failed to
find the control with the given search properties. Additional Details:
TechnologyName: 'MSAA;
ControlType: 'Window'
Name: 'myapp 1.0.12344.0 - Internet Explorer'

Hi A Tester,
Since the coded UI tests use the search properties to find a control/window, so the real issue is that it couldn't find the control when your search property is dynamic. So one possible way, you could use other unique property as the search property.
About how coded UI test find a control:

BUG: Playback Fails When Loading A Random Video - Firmware 1.2

I've been looking all over on where to post a bug, and for a fix for this bug I found. Not many seem to be having this problem (I assume not many are trying to randomly play a video from a video playlist)
BUG: Playback Fails When Loading A Random Video
iPod FIRMWARE: 1.2
PROBLEM (1): When pressing "Play" on a video playlist or on 'Music Videos' while the iPod is set to Random->Song, the iPod displays a white playback screen, displays song 0 of 0, empty duration bar and a duration time of 0:00/-0:00.
PROBLEM (2): After successful playing a seleted video within a video playlist or music video list, the iPod attempts to play a randomly choosen video (HDD clicks abnormally) but times-out and returns the user to the Playlist selection screen.
iPod MODEL: 60GB Video - Black [Bought in NOV 05]
If anyone knows how to report a bug, or anyone else having this problem (Try it on you iPod, post your results!) let me know!

DynamicStreamingResource and Error: Playback failed with certain media

I'm running into an issue with a DynamicStreamingResource wherein, with certain media, I receive a Playback failed error after about 20 seconds of playback. The error does not appear with these assets, which play back perfectly:
_dynamicStreamingResource = new DynamicStreamingResource("rtmp://cp67126.edgefcs.net/ondemand");
_dynamicStreamingResource.streamItems = Vector.<DynamicStreamingItem>(
[ new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 768x428_24.0fps_408kbps.mp4", 408, 768, 428)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 768x428_24.0fps_608kbps.mp4", 608, 768, 428)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 1024x522_24.0fps_908kbps.mp4", 908, 1024, 522)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 1024x522_24.0fps_1308kbps.mp4", 1308, 1024, 522)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:mediapm/ovp/content/demo/video/elephants_dream/elephants_dream_ 1280x720_24.0fps_1708kbps.mp4", 1708, 1280, 720)
However this set of assets do not work:
_dynamicStreamingResource = new DynamicStreamingResource("rtmp://flashstream.adobe.com/ondemand");
_dynamicStreamingResource.streamItems = Vector.<DynamicStreamingItem>(
[ new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:flash/m/mv1/acom/connectnow/flvs/acom014_854x480.flv", 408, 854, 480)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:flash/m/mv2/acom/connectnow/flvs/acom014_854x480.flv", 608, 854, 480)
, new DynamicStreamingItem("mp4:flash/m/mv3/acom/connectnow/flvs/acom014_854x480.flv", 908, 854, 480)
I've confirmed that each asset individually plays as desired, which they do.
Additionally, I have noticed that the buffer grows at an awkward rate - it jumps to about 10 seconds, stutters back and forth between 15 and 20, then stalls, and eventually jumps to 40 seconds, at which point the playhead, around 20 seconds, stalls and I receive the Playback failed error. This happens 100% of the time.
Any thoughts as to why the second set is problematic?
Thanks!

I'm getting "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound" when I try to play your first stream so I'm not able to investigate this. Here are some things to look at:
The bitrate you give to DynamicStreamingItem is very important. It must be accurate with regard to the encode. The switching rules use this value to throttle the connection between client and server to keep the buffer from growing too large. Make sure your encodes are CBR and not VBR (variable bitrate). Make sure all encodes have the same keyframe interval. Make sure you set your buffer to 8 seconds initially to get this working. You can adjust if you wish.
Also, turn logging on and start digging through the logs. Determine which stream playback is failing on. The next thing I would try is put the bitrate in the stream name and put them in the same location on the server rather than different paths for each bitrate.
Thanks,

"playback failed" for all podcasts using ios7

I just updated to IOS 7 and when I try to play a podcast that I am subscribed to, I get "playback failed" for all podcasts. The odd thing is that if I am connected via wifi, it seems to work fine. If wifi is not there, I get that error.
I cannot seem to find a setting anywhere that gets around this.
Help!

Playback failed error itunes u

"Error - Playback failed". I get this error on my iPhone 4s in iTunes u. The phone software is up to date and I have deleted and reinstalled the iTunes app. The courses are listed on my phone, but they will not playback. I have connectivity to the Internet and can reach the Apple Store. These same courses will play back on my old iPod.
I have read the discussions, but there seems to be no answer.

Adobe encoder adobe player "Playback Failed..."

hi,
downloaded AFMLE a week or so ago.
i have a logitech web-cam that i use for skype, etc.
thought I'd give it a try.
recorded some audio & video thru the web-cam
AFMLE create an FLV file; tried to open it in Adobe Media Player (1.6)
and I get the error: "Playback Failed... there was an error... some errors
can be fixed by clicking the back button, blah, blah, blah..."
the file format is "f4v" ... I can't open it with Adobe Flash CS3.
if anyone has a clue what's up, please drop me a line!

Before playing F4v files created by FMLE in adobe media player or CS3, you need to process them using F4v post processor tool - https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=fms35
Whereas, Flv files should play directly without any processing.

I went to IO 7 and Getting Error "Playback Failed" on every podcast

I was able to listen to podcast when I first updated. It now fails with Error "Playback Failed" on every podcast. I also see that the facebook app is never updating. I powered off the Iphone 4 and powered on. I did the same on my IMAC and try resyncing. I still get the same error.

The problem is in the Yahoo mail server farm. Their mail servers are terrible. Give it time. It will eventually straighten itself out. In the mean time, create an account a gmail account, outlook.com account, etc. and consider switching.

Error: playback failed message deletes my podcasts!

I am getting tired of this. I have an iPhone 4S, updated to the most recent software. Every so often when I open the podcasts app, it will randomly give me an "Error: Playback Failed" message and delete nearly all of my downloaded podcasts. This is especially aggravating when it deletes podcast episodes that are only available for a limited time (ex. This American Life). This has been happening for months now. WHY HASN'T SOMEONE AT APPLE FIXED THIS ISSUE?

Playback failed in the podcast app?

I recently submited my podcast, got it approved, but when I try to play it in the Podcast app on my devices iPhone/iPad it says... Playback Failed.
Does it take a certain period of time before it is completely functional across all platforms?
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/zulu-time/id672134957
Thanks.

Your feed is at http://seanzulu.com/zulutime?format=rss
It can be subscribed to OK in iTunes, and in the Store on a Mac it plays your episode (after a very long pause).
I'm not in a postition to test it on an iOS device. However the server appears not to handle 'byte range requests' as required by iPhones (where only a part of the file is requested at a time rather than the whole thing) and this can cause playback problems. If that is the case thenI'm afraid that's something you can only solve by hosting on another server (though the fact that your podcast was accepted would suggest that it's OK - if it didn't support this you would get an error message and a rejection).
Another point, though it probably isn't the cause of the problem: your file name has spaces in it. Spaces are not allowed in a URL. The feed has handled this correctly by substituting the code %20, so it shouldn't actually be an issue, but it's something you should avoid.
