me too

Code (CSharp):

1. AndroidVideoMedia: Error opening extractor: -10002

Unity 2018.1.9f2
Android10 Pixel3a

 

I have the same error on my Pixel 3, Android 10.

 

I have the same issue on android 10. The project worked fine on android 9, upgraded to 10 and now I get:

E/NdkMediaExtractor: can't create http service

W/Unity: AndroidVideoMedia: Error opening extractor: -10002

The video file is stored locally:

VP = this.GetComponent<VideoPlayer>();

Internal_Storage_FileName = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, Video_Name + ".mp4");

VP.url = Internal_Storage_FileName;

Pixel 3, Android 10
Unity 2019.2.0f1

 

I have the same issue on android 10 (Pixel 3a, Built by Unity 2018.3.12f1)
Playing movie by streaming works well.
Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie works well too.

Playing movie by VideoPlayer on local storage (temporaryCachePath and persistentDataPath) doesn't work.


videoPlayer.errorReceived
reports
```
VideoPlayer cannot play url : file:///....
Cannot read file.
```

 

Exact same issue here, Unity 2017.4.29f1 (LTS). It is working perfectly fine iOS and Android except Android 10. The video file is accessible at the expected url and I can play it manually.

edit: I reproduced the issue in a very small project. The key is simply to put a valid .mp4 file into Application.persistentDataPath + "/myvideo.mp4". I pasted my file directly in that folder. It works perfectly fine on my galaxy s8+ (android 9.0). Then I tried on Pixel 2 (android 10.0) and I have the exact error above.

edit 2: I had an idea. At runtime, I load the video file using WWW request.
- 10-07 15:58:03.143 10661 10683 I Unity : www loaded, , count = 269520

The byte[] length is correct. Then, I do the following:
string destinationPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.temporaryCachePath, "temp.mp4");
File.WriteAllBytes(destinationPath, www.bytes);

Then I pass the temporaryCachePath URL to the video player. Exact same issue...

@Domas_L

 

webm(vp8)も同じ問題が発生しました。
android10でfile:///でアクセス出来なくなっているのが問題だと思います。回避するmanifestが見当たらないので、なんとかしてほしいものです。
2018.4.1f1～ 2018.4.10f1のすべてで解決されていないのを確認しています。

The same problem occurred in webm (vp8).
I think that the problem is that you can not access at file: /// on android10. I don't see any manifests to avoid, so I'd like somehow.
It has been confirmed that it has not been resolved in all of 2018.4.1f1 to 2018.4.10f1.

 

I suspect that it might be related with the new android 10 storage permission: https://commonsware.com/blog/2019/06/07/death-external-storage-end-saga.html

 

Bug reported, id 1189995
Thank you!

 

I got the same issue and I tried to use runtime permission request for

Code (CSharp):

1. "android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"

But the app crashes. If I finally fix this request, will it help at all or we need to wait until VideoPlayer bug fixed?

 

I'm experiencing the same issue. Also trying to pass a cached video url to the VideoPlay on a device running Android 10. I know Unity has said this is working per design, but the suggested modification to the Android Manifest has not resolved the issue....

 

Also experiencing the same issue. Video is not playing on Android Q / Pixel 2 when using a local filesystem url. Remote URLs are working just fine. Permissions are correctly set, and videos are playing on any other device/OS.

W/Unity: AndroidVideoMedia: Error opening extractor: -10002.

I also tried to target API 29 and set the new attribute: android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true", but it didn't help.

 

Just for experiment fixed permissions, set properly but video still can't be player with a same error message. So the only way is to await for bug fix.

 

Man, I can't find this bug by provided id. Are you sure it's commited?

 

After digging into the issue more and reading some Android logcats, I'm guessing the issue won't be resolved by setting a certain permission (I've tried a bunch) but is related to the privacy and scoped storage changes Android made in 10/Q. I did a quick test, made a native android plugin using the getExternalFilesDir() command and passing the resulting path the Unity VideoPlayer, but that still results in a -10002 error and the video not playing. I think the issue has to do with how the VideoPlayer uses the URL to retrieve the video from the device. Read more about the Android Q changes here: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/privacy/changes

I would love to hear from someone at Unity regarding this...

 

Also experiencing the same issue. Video is not playing on Android 10 Pixel 1 when using a local filesystem url. I tried modifying manifest per https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...54.1457569470.1571364137-684958550.1526353024
but i still get the same error. Is this being worked on?

 

Awesome! Thank you for the update! When can we get a download for Unity 2019.2.11f1? The latest I'm seeing in the Hub and download archive is 2019.2.10.

I tried on Unity 2019.2.11f1 but still it doesn't work there. Though the release notes say that it is fixed.

Is there any extra code snippet that has to be written to get it work?Like change in function or something.

 

Same problem for me. Not sure how I can fix this.

 

The update seems to have fixed the issue I was experiencing. In my case, the issue was how the Unity VideoPlayer was internally handling file getting on Android devices and that method was no longer supported for Android 10/Q. What my app is doing is storing the temporary video file and passing that path to the Unity VideoPlayer which plays the video on a RawImage. So in my case, there was no additional code or function to call, it was just that the way the Video Player was internally handling files needed to be updated. Are you doing something similar to this?

 

Im downloading mp4 files from a server and store at the persistentDataPath. I load these files by passing the path to the VideoPlayer and show on a quad mesh. Worked until android 10.

 

Glad that you got it working!
Can you share the code snippet? Are you using "file://" ahead of the persistent data path of the file?

 

Can't play local VideoClip using Video Player on Android, engine version 2018.4.7. Worked fine using 2018.2.12.

Works fine on Windows build and Editor.

Tested with Xiaomi Mi 9t and Realwear HMT1.

 

Using 2018.4 LTS on a Pixel 1, I still get the same error "NdkMediaExtractor: can't create http service, AndroidVideoMedia: Error opening extractor: -10002" when attempting to use a local filesystem url to play a video using a video player component.

I tried removing "file://' prefix and adding "videoPlayer.source = VideoSource.Url", but to no avail.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

 

I'm assuming you are getting this because your Pixel 1 is running Android Q/10. To keep it short, try updating your project to at least Unity 2019.2.11, Unity rolled out a patch to fix how the video player handles url paths.

For further explanation, read more about the Android Q changes here: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/10/privacy/changes

 

I see my mistake, I had 2018.4.12, which was no longer LTS. After downloading the new 2018.4.13f1 LTS version I was able to play a video in the videoplayer using a url; however, I get a new weird bug where the video plays at half-ish speed even when setting the player's playback speed to 1.0. Unfortunately this doesn't happen in editor so I don't know what could be the cause. Pixel 1 Android Q/10 Unity 2018.4.13f1 LTS.

 

Im still experiencing this bug in 2019.3.0f6. While Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie( "file://" + path ); works fine … same behavior with 2019.3.2​

 

I'm experiencing a similar error. but with different error code(-10000)

Got this error in Unity 2019.2.7f2 and 2019.2.21f1

I had the same error (-10002 while downloading and playing a video via https webrequest) with 2019.1f02 with my Pixel 1, Android 10.
Updating unity to 2019.3.0b8 made it work agian without the error on my Pixel 1.

 

@Domas_L Issue is still here.

Update (Solution): Android needs removing "file://" part. iOS can play with "file://" part of url.

AndroidVideoMedia: Error opening extractor: -10002

Hi, I have black texture when I try to load Video from File to Render Texture and Play with default VideoPlayer class by Unity using url: file:///. iOS works great, but on Android there is some issue.

What the problem?

Environment:
Unity 2019.3.5f /Unity 2020.1b2, Android 10, Samsung Galaxy A71.

So picked Video was recorder on this device previously.

 

We still have same issues with 2018.2.2 version although your team posted some patches in this URL(https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/is...n-the-persistent-data-directory-on-android-10).

Because we are now using 2018.2.20f1,It is very difficult to move on considering project schedule. And also updating unity to 2018.4 from 2018.2.2 is hell-time-consuming so that even can determine how long it takes.

Is there any good workaround for this or patch for 2018.2.20f1?

 

Actually, that did not solve the issue on our side. When trying to access a recorded video located at path "/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera..." and pass this URI with OR without "file://" prefix, the Unity video player is not able to read or play the file as it is not stored inside the streamingAssets or persistentDataPath folders.

I'm using Unity 2019.3.6, all READ/WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE Android permissions are granted.

A System.IO.File.Exists check confirms the file is existing (without "file://" prefix).

Here are some resources I found that Android Q (10) removed file access and only allows usage of the Storage Access Framework (SAF):
- https://commonsware.com/blog/2019/06/07/death-external-storage-end-saga.html
- https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/document-provider

Finally, this guy created a basic file access plugin for SAF: https://github.com/yasirkula/UnitySimpleFileBrowser

But the problem is that it it not feasibly to load a file via SAF into memory as byte-array, e.g. for video playback. Unity has to enable SAF support for Android Q and above directly in the VideoPlayer / UnityWebRequest and other APIs that use file URIs. @Domas_L what do you think?

Can somebody help with access / playback of files from the emulated storage?

Best regards

 

Did you find any good solution ??

I can't play video by videoplayer too !!

 

Same problem with Unity version 2019.3.13f1, any suggestion how to fix this issue, please?
