Error importing mp4 file

Hi,
So I'm on Linux Mint 19.1 running Unity Editor 2019.1.8f1.
When I try to import .mp4 file into project (Importer Version is set to VideoClip) I get the following 2 error messages:

1 - Error while reading movie: PATH-TO-VIDEO-FILE
2 - VideoClip import error for PATH-TO-VIDEO-FILE

No more info is provided by the error messages.

I suppose I should sudo apt install some dependencies, but I don't know which ones.
Help
Thanks

 

also me, converting to ogv tegra imported fine, still looking for option to import mp4 file
Unity 2019.1.10f1 Ubuntu

 

Tnx, helped me.
But still if someone know what is problem with MP4 I would like to hear.

 

Thanks! Worked for me.

 

At this time we don't support MP4 import on Linux. We'd like have a path forward at some point, but we're not there yet. H.264 / H.265 are patent-encumbered. With Mac and Windows this is less of an issue since the platforms themselves cover licensing. With Linux the story is murky since no distro does this.

I like the idea of supporting 3rd party codecs at some point. We don't have the bandwidth right now, though.

If you'd like to make your voice heard for better codec support, please log a bug or upvote an existing bug at the Issue Tracker.

 

Hello there! I had this same issue and resolved it installing 3rd party codecs for mp4 support.
In Ubuntu-based distributions you should use:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Hopefully this will solve your problem.
Cheers!

 

@nanpx i installed in ubuntu but not working

After packaging the Android package under linux unity, the mp4 still cannot be played

 

MP4 importing requires QuickTime to be installed on computer.
