How do I access the MediaMetadataRetriever.setDataSource(...) status codes?

Question

I'm getting the following error java.lang.RuntimeException: setDataSource failed: status = 0xFFFFFFEA and I'd like to know what this status is. I'm using the function MediaMetaDataRetriever.setDataSource(String filePath)

I got this error java.lang.RuntimeException: setDataSource failed: status = 0xFFFFFFEA when tried to call void setDataSource(String path) on an empty file. (0 bytes)

You need to be 100% sure that path for the file is not null, not empty, the file itself exists and valid.

@user25 maybe it's invalid or unrecognizable format? Could you specify which file causes such error? (type, extension, size, maybe upload it somewhere?) – Kirill Karmazin Nov 17 '18 at 17:27

I didn't have an empty file or any other of the here mentioned bugs in my code. The files I tried to use were fine. I don't exactly know why, but it worked for me when I simply used another overload of setDataSource.

The ones I used that threw this exception were MediaMetadataRetriever.setDataSource(String) and MediaMetadataRetriever.setDataSource(String, HashMap)

The one that simply worked was MediaMetadataRetriever.setDataSource(Context, URI).

It was very well buried but I found the source. Here is a link to the error codes

It's a build from ICS and I'm not sure where it is in the current build.

My error was a not supported error when I used a midi file.

FYI, if you'd like to retrieve metadata from your midi file you can try: https://github.com/wseemann/FFmpegMediaMetadataRetriever. — William Seemann, Jan 09 '14 at 05:49
Sorry Andrew, I don't. FFmpeg doesn't allow writing metadata without creating a new file otherwise I would modify my library to help you out. If you are only looking to change the metadata tags for a handful of formats there are several Java libraries you can use but they lack a common interface. — William Seemann, Jan 11 '14 at 00:28
@AndrewOrobator how did you map `0xFFFFFFEA = -22` to any of the above enum values? — TWiStErRob, Apr 18 '15 at 14:58

I got this error: setDataSource failed: status = 0xFFFFFFEA because the file does not exist on my device.

Just adding this link to know more about error codes: https://kdave.github.io/errno.h/

By searching for FFEA, it tells that 0xFFFFFFEA is decimal value 22 as @AndrewOrobator said, the error is EINVAL invalid argument.
