Hello IMA SDK Tech Team,

How are you today?

I want to ask about these errors (screenshot has been attached in this email),

"URIError : URI malformed" in video news https://20.detik.com/detikupdate/20240122-240122123/hotman-paris-sebut-jokowi-marah-soal-pajak-hiburan-40

Why does this happen?

Thanks in advance,

Best Regards,

Hi Dio,

Thank you for contacting the IMA SDK support team.

By reviewing your concern, I understand that you need information regarding the ‘URIError: URI malformed error’.

This error occurs because of the following reasons:

• Incorrect encoding can make the URI appear ‘malformed’
• The data containing the ad’s URI might be corrupted during transmission 
• The server hosting the ad might be experiencing  technical difficulties, resulting in inaccessible URIs

Please try to refresh the page and clear your browser cache. Sometimes it causes problems with the video playback.

Kindly provide following details with us to investigate the issue further:

• What platform are you on(website, browser, application)?
• Video URL

You can provide the above details via reply privately to the author option.
 

This message is in relation to case "ref:!00D1U01174p.!5004Q02rXwPJ:ref"

Thanks,
 

IMA SDK Team

luckily today we tried something by removing the % sign inside description_url. Even though we have used encodingURIComponent(), it turns out that the % sign in description_url is the cause of the URIError error: URI malformed
