Currently at best the MediaResult contains the function where the error occurred.

However, in many cases, the same function can fail with the same error code multiple times.

Ideally, we should be able to provide exactly where the error occurred. Like giving the line number.
We'll want to uplift that to finish the work done in bug 1299072

We've previously tried to prefer C++ style casts, i.e. static_cast<unsigned>(...) or unsigned(...) over C style casts. You probably also want to explicitly cast to a 32bit type here.

s/AAC/Audio/

So it complements the video case below...

::: dom/media/platforms/agnostic/gmp/GMPVideoDecoder.cpp:107
(Diff revision 1)
>  void
>  VideoCallbackAdapter::Terminated()
>  {
>    // Note that this *may* be called from the proxy thread also.

> +                               RESULT_DETAIL("GMP decoder terminated.")));

"Video GMP decoder terminated" so we can distinguish which failed.

Should this be a decode error, rather than the default of fatal (IIRC), so that the MFR can recreate the deoder and retry?

Identifying this as a decode error means we'll recreate the decoder right? And after a bunch of failures in a row, we give up right?

How confident are you that we can recover from this by re-trying?

this is the nsresult value returned by AppleATDecoder::DecodeSample, which is already set to the proper value (OOM, overflow, decode error etc.)

well, seeing that it's a locking error on a buffer. I have no idea if we can recover. I don't believe this can ever happen. It wasn't an OOM that's for sure.

what about uint32_t(blah) is that c++ enough ?

the macro automatatically adds the function name in there.. but sure. will do.
