VideoStreamPlayer causes game to crash upon playing video

[0xcafeb33f]

Tested versions

• Reproducible in v4.4.beta4.official [93d2706]
• Not reproducible in v4.4.beta3.official [06acfcc]

The only VideoStreamPlayer-related commit I saw in beta4 was #101958, so I think it is a likely cause of this issue.

System information

Windows 11 - both Forward+ and Compatibility - both with and without dedicated GPU

Issue description

Game closes without displaying any in-editor error messages upon playing a VideoStreamPlayer in 4.4 beta4.

Steps to reproduce

Play an Ogg Theora stream through a VideoStreamPlayer, either with autoplay=true or play(). Seems to affect both Forward+ and Compatibility renderers (haven't tested Mobile).

Minimal reproduction project (MRP)

videoplayerbug.zip
The main scene can be played to reproduce the issue. In beta3, this works as expected and a blue box moves across the screen. In beta4, the game exits immediately.

I can't reproduce it on Linux. The MRP works well here.

I'll try it on a machine with Windows 11. In the mean time if someone could get a crash backtrace it may speed things up.

Does it crash before displaying anything or when the video is already playing?

Can't reproduce on macOS (using provided videoplayerbug project).

Godot v4.4.beta4 - macOS Sequoia (15.3.1) - Multi-window, 2 monitors - Metal (Forward+) - integrated Apple M1 Pro (Apple7) - Apple M1 Pro (10 threads)

Can replicate this on Windows 11, will provide a stacktrace soon

[AThousandShips]

I can't confirm it on a custom build on the same branch, so unsure what is different between the two versions here, so can't provide a stacktrace as it won't occur in a debug build

What compiler and compiler version are you using? What compiler does the official beta use?
