Example Project - Video Player

Sounds great!

Can we use this video player with 5.5.0f3?

 

(sigh)

 

It doesn't work with android? (( I do some optimization for mobile (remove all seats and lights), and set "auto play" for video, but video don't play on Android device. Test it on Sony Z3. In Editor it works flawless.

 

Hello,

I tried it with the Adam Video.

Sound is not working ...
I checked everything, I'm not mutted, volume is set to 1.

Changing the playback speed stop the video too at some point...

Cheers

EDIT: Audio works with an AudioSource but not with "Direct" Mode

 

Has anyone succeeded in playing 4K 360 video? I've tried quite a couple of encodings but Unity keeps throwing errors "Error while reading movie" and "Movie encoding error". I've tried H.264 (Main 5.1) and H.265. Any special settings I'm missing?

 

@paskhalov Has now been acknowledged by Unity as reproducible bug 866587 (not working on Android)

 

It doesn't help

Thx for link. Vote for it.

 

Is it possible to use Video Player in WebGL? I have exported a project using WebGL but the video does not show up. It works fine in Editor.

 

Anybody have answer to the question if the video player works in WebGL?

Im using WebGL and need a video player, I hope you guys havnt forgotten about WebGL, we are people too!

Can it stream a mp4 video and play it, for example can i tell it to play a video located at www.mysite.com/hello.mp4

 

Even when using URL the video is not showing up. It shows in Editor, but not when exported to WebGL.

I am getting this error as you can see in the image.

maybe check your CORS, some websites maybe dont want you playing their videos from another site, i think, just trying to help.

 

Hi, yeah. CORS seems to be a problem. I also had problem with Microsoft IIS. I have changed my URL and put it on Apache Server. The video is working fine in WebGL now.

 

I found kind of an obscure Error, using Perforce and was able to resolve it, eventually. Process to re-produce error:

Have a project working with video in a folder, and video on an object, Branch the Project, open the source, allow to re-compile, and then play / execute, it will come up with a "Can't find movie []" error. I did some looking into where that error lived, so I could see what it was trying to do, it must sin in the source, as it's not in my code, or code I can see. So I tried everything, assigning nothing to the Video Clip, changing the render to texture, renaming things nothing worked, until I remove the movie from the project and brought it back in, re-creating the meta file I assume, and then when I dragged it in it started working, nothing materially changed, other than me removing and having to re-import the movie.

 

Running sample project with adam sample video on my Google Nexus 5X (Android 7.1.1). App crahes with stacktrace:
https://gist.github.com/stopiccot/403b140574a9df8376bd85836f7eada3

The only thing I modified is VideoControl::Update() method so it starts video automatically:

Code (csharp):

1. if (!videoPlayer.isPlaying) {
2.      videoPlayer.Play();
3. }

 

WebGLMovieTexture doesnt work on Chrome browser, gives error fastSeek is not a function, but it works in firefox.

 

I had the same error as you (AndroidVideoMedia::StartAudioDecoders: Cannot get media track 1 language). To make the example above work on Android, I had to uncheck the "import audio" checkbox in the import settings for the video. I was able to play three videos simultaneously on three different screens.

Note that this does not work on iOS. Although there is no crash or error messages, no video plays. I tried on iOS 10.2.1 and 8.1.1. Has anybody been able to play videos on iOS using the new VideoPlayer ?

 

Can you please explain how did you get the videos playing on android?

Here is just a white screen on android

 

First thank you for setting this project up.
I am having issues with sound playing back choppy, this is with the Adam video download and with several others I have tried. I am using 5.6.0b9
thank you for any feed back.

 

Alright I fixed choppy sound by disabling Adaptive Lighting script. This must be very intense light processing, though my laptop is not top notch it's no slouch but I guess it can't handle adaptive lighting. The frame rate drops from 90 fps to 20 fps with AL script enabled. Which in my opinion is probably the best part of this project. I will try to cut back the lighting and go from there.
Any advise on keeping the lighting or ways to optimize would be appreciated.
thank you for your time.

 

It doesn't seem to work on Android when setting an url in code and calling Prepare() (tested on a Samsung S7)

The app just hangs..

 

Its a bug, i saw the same thing, it only plays the URL specified in the Inspector, trying it from code dont work. I wonder who coded this player, i guess he never tried it even once or else he would see that it dont work.

 

Have you worked with seeking yet?

Everything works great for me, using the Video Player, except for seeking.

When I do seeking in the video, using a slider, the video and audio is prone to go out of sync. Even if I use the seekingComplete callback event.

 

Can someone please tell me how to get this working on android?

 

Video Player still broken on Android (S6, Mali-T760) for me in beta 11...

The audio plays but video doesn't because the shader fails to compile.

Extension 'GL_OES_EGL_image_external_essl3' not supported
Note: Creation of internal variant of shader 'Hidden/VideoDecodeAndroid' failed.​

 

Any luck with seeking? It is not working for me either.

 

Thanks for posting this example. This worked fine for me in 5.6b11.

Are there any examples of viewing a 360 video in Vive? I was able to display a front only view of a 360 video by attaching the VideoPlayer to the Eye of a SteamVR camera rig. However it was very disorienting, double right-left images and the image did not pan when moving the headset. Has anyone succeeded with this and have some tips on how to get it done?

 

Thanks for the example.
Different that this I tired adding VideoPlayer and VideoClip API to RawImage through script to play video for either URL sources or from Asset folder.

No luck, no.

I reported it as a bug, and Unity has been able to reproduce the bug. It'll be resolved eventually, I suppose.

The issue tracker is here: https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/setting-videoplayer-dot-frame-from-code-offsets-audio

My backup plan is to split audio from video and control it myself.

 

How can I extract/separate/split the audio from an imported video into an AudioClip so I can get samples from the AudioClip to create a waveform?

Right now it looks like I have to import audio separately to do that so I can get an array from AudioClip.samples, which means the user has to split video audio and video files before adding them to my app.

 

Guys...... I'm using unity5.6.0b9 , and all i want to know is does new video player option in unity5.6 supports Android or Not..Because i tried it different times but at the same in the unity documentation i saw that at present it only supports for Standalone and webgl...........and also unity recognized it as a bug : https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/android-videoplayer-not-playing-video

All i want to know is for now, does unity 5.6.0b9 support video playback for android???


Regards
sai.

 

I have been using VideoPlayer API as shared in this blog How to use Unity VideoPlayer on RawImage Component on Android Devices with 7.0 and 7.1.1 on Axon 7, Honor 8 and OnePlus 3. On Unity's draft document they mentioned that they are still working on Android. So you may want to use latest Unity 5.6.0f1,

 

Thank you..........
But unfortunately it didn't worked for me even in editor..........i tried everything correctly ....Currently i'm using unity5.60b9
may be that's the issue............I'm gonna upgrade to 5.6.0f2 which released yesterday and gonna try it again.........But it was mentioned there that, there's some issues and crashes when build for android devices lower than marshmallow.............

 

Guys i have a doubt, I just downloaded unity 5.60f1 candidate-2 let's say after a week unity officially released 5.6 then what should i do:
1.I should again download everything i.e. again downloading the editor, Tools, Platform supports e.t.c
or

2.Only the things which were upgraded, so that no need to waste a lot of time and data. I have a slow internet connection

I'm asking this because, I already have 5.4.3, 5.5.1, 5.60b9, 5.60f1 candidate 2,unity for hololens and i think an another one.......... And i think lot of other developers also want to know about this.........

And also i want to know what are patches? And How can we attach or upgrade using patches...?
Or whether Patches is the answer, what i was looking for all this time...............? Waiting for quick response


Thank you....

 

If you need it ASAP and ready to spend some bucks.... Then there's EasymovieTexture plugin for android, ios, windows with editor playback for testing...No need to add audiosources and all just put your videos in Streaming folder and that's it but the size of the video will directly affect the build size...So make sure about it.........

 

Hey i recently upgraded to unity5.6.0f2 and it's going well and the video & audio plays now............But video not playing in android in both url & Asset texture mode, only audio is playing...........I've tested it on lollipop ,marshmallow and even on Nogut but it doesn't work............The phone are coolpad(lollipop), Lenovo(Marshmallow) & nexus(Nogut)
