AIR 20, 21, 22 StageVideo Flex Mobile IOS - Will not Play but AIR 19, 18, 17 . . . OK

[Herado__]

Our IOS Flexmobile project has played StageVideo beautifully for many year and Air updates. That's until we created a new version with AIR 20, ( and 21, 22Beta )

No code changes were made to the AIR 19 SDK version which plays stage video perfectly.

Here's the fault:

StageVideoAvailabilityEvent  returns "available".

So we try to attachNetStream but nothing.

However the StageVideoEvent.RENDER_STATE  returns StageVideo Render Status (software/hardware): unavailable

( StageVideoEvent.RENDER_STATE  event.codecInfo was null and  event.colorSpace was "Unknown" )

We use vimeo pro for the video and are compiling on Windows with FB 4.7. 

The IPAD 2  is running IOS 9.2

We're using bog standard StageVideo code :

protected function onStageVideoAvailable(event:StageVideoAvailabilityEvent):void

  {

  if (event.availability == "available")

  {

  stage.removeEventListener(StageVideoAvailabilityEvent.STAGE_VIDEO_AVAILABILITY, onStageVideoAvailable);

  sv = stage.stageVideos[0];

  sv.attachNetStream(ns);

  sv.addEventListener(StageVideoEvent.RENDER_STATE, onRenderState);

  sv.viewPort = new Rectangle(point.x, point.y, kvidFrame.videoWidth, kvidFrame.videoHeight);

  stageVideoSetup = true;

  if(ns){

        ns.play(getSourceDef(videoToPlayVid));

        this.setStyle('backgroundAlpha', '0.0')

  }

. . . .

Is this a bug?

If so where do I submit

This stage video issue was not a fault after all.

It was due to streaming the video over HTTP  versus HTTPS.  After AIR20 this appears to be blocked

Hi,

With AIR 20, the AIR Runtime is now built with the iOS 9 SDK which enables AIR developers to use ANEs built with iOS 9 APIs without using the –platformSDK switch when packaging with ADT.  In iOS9, Apple has introduced App Transport Security (ATS) which blocks unsecure connections between App and Web services.  Due to this change, all connections made to unsecure web sites via Loader and URLLoader are now blocked by default and will not work due to App Transport Security.  Please specify exceptions to the default behavior by adding keys to the InfoAdditions tag of your app's application descriptor.
