Android Crash: java.lang.AssertionError: uint32 overflow (org.mp4parser.AudioSampleEntry) #383
Description
Current behavior
The app crashes immediately (Native Crash) when attempting to compress certain video files on Android. The crash occurs deep in org.mp4parser with an AssertionError: The given long is not in the range of uint32. It seems related to audio metadata parsing on specific video files (e.g., AI-generated footage). JavaScript try/catch cannot handle this error as it kills the process.
Video.getVideoMetaData(uri) is also undefined/unavailable in this version to pre-check the file. Workaround: Checking file size before compression helps, but doesn't guarantee safety against this specific metadata crash.
Expected behavior
The library should handle metadata parsing errors gracefully or allow try/catch to handle the failure without crashing the entire application.
Platform
Android
iOS
React Native Version
0.81.5 (Expo 54)
React Native Compressor Version
1.13.0
Reproducible Steps And Demo
Call Video.compress(uri, { compressionMethod: 'auto' }) on Android.
Use a video file with specific audio metadata (likely large internal duration values).
App crashes instantly with the stack trace below.
