Description
Currently, when a user tries to import an unsupported or corrupted video file, the application does not provide a clear and user-friendly error message. This can make it difficult for users to understand why the import failed.
Expected Behavior
- Detect unsupported or invalid video files before processing.
- Display a clear error message explaining why the file cannot be imported.
- Suggest supported file formats (e.g., MP4, WebM, MOV, etc.) if applicable.
- Prevent the application from entering an inconsistent state after a failed import.
Current Behavior
The import either fails silently or displays a generic error that does not help users identify the problem.
Proposed Solution
- Validate the file type and codec before starting the import process.
- Show a descriptive error dialog or toast notification.
- Log the detailed error in the browser console for debugging purposes.
- Add unit tests for unsupported file import scenarios.
Benefits
- Better user experience.
- Easier debugging.
- Reduced confusion for first-time users.
- Improved application reliability.
Additional Information
This enhancement would make file importing more robust and improve the overall usability of Reframe.
