Three independently ugly bugs that all fed the same log flood:
* Electron's `WebFrameMain.send` writes every "Render frame was disposed"
to stderr via `console.error`. When the worker fans a second
agent-event past a reloading renderer, we produced thousands of
identical lines and stalled the main loop on stderr I/O. Added a
`mainFrame.detached` guard so the send is short-circuited before
Electron's own catch block fires, and installed a targeted filter in
`suppress-warnings.ts` (now actually imported from the entry point)
so the specific `console.error("Error sending from webFrameMain:"…)`
noise never reaches the terminal. Any other payload still surfaces.
* `dispatchAgentMessage` accepted the human-reader sentinel as a wake
target when an agent replied to `__board__` — `wakeAgentIfPossible`
then called `db.getAgent("__board__")`, threw, and the dispatcher
kept repeating on every send. Strip `HUMAN_SENDER_ID` at
`resolveMessageWakeTargets`, and keep a defense-in-depth guard in the
heartbeat so a stray caller (future automation fan-out) cannot
reintroduce the crash.
* Pi's skills loader rejects any SKILL.md whose frontmatter `name`
diverges from its parent directory. The four bundled `my-writing-style`
copies declared `name: writing-style-skill`, so every install emitted
a warning and dropped the skill. They also lived as orphan gitlinks
(mode 160000 without .gitmodules), and the global `*.md` gitignore
hid every other SKILL.md from version control. Fixed the frontmatter
to match the dir, converted the dangling submodules to plain trees,
and allowlisted `builtin-skills/**/*.md` so a fresh clone carries the
catalogue instead of silently losing it.

# Checking if a video can be decoded
|
|
|
|
Use Mediabunny to check if a video can be decoded by the browser before attempting to play it.
|
|
|
|
First, install the right version of Mediabunny:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx remotion add mediabunny
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The `canDecode()` function
|
|
|
|
This function can be copy-pasted into any project.
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
import { Input, ALL_FORMATS, UrlSource } from "mediabunny";
|
|
|
|
export const canDecode = async (src: string) => {
|
|
const input = new Input({
|
|
formats: ALL_FORMATS,
|
|
source: new UrlSource(src, {
|
|
getRetryDelay: () => null,
|
|
}),
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
try {
|
|
await input.getFormat();
|
|
} catch {
|
|
return false;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const videoTrack = await input.getPrimaryVideoTrack();
|
|
if (videoTrack && !(await videoTrack.canDecode())) {
|
|
return false;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
const audioTrack = await input.getPrimaryAudioTrack();
|
|
if (audioTrack && !(await audioTrack.canDecode())) {
|
|
return false;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return true;
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
const src = "https://remotion.media/video.mp4";
|
|
const isDecodable = await canDecode(src);
|
|
|
|
if (isDecodable) {
|
|
console.log("Video can be decoded");
|
|
} else {
|
|
console.log("Video cannot be decoded by this browser");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using with Blob
|
|
|
|
For file uploads or drag-and-drop, use `BlobSource`:
|
|
|
|
```tsx
|
|
import { Input, ALL_FORMATS, BlobSource } from "mediabunny";
|
|
|
|
export const canDecodeBlob = async (blob: Blob) => {
|
|
const input = new Input({
|
|
formats: ALL_FORMATS,
|
|
source: new BlobSource(blob),
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// Same validation logic as above
|
|
};
|
|
```
