    Has anyone had any luck playing videos (mp4) using the VideoPlayer component on Mac OSX?
    I'm trying to load videos from StreamingAssets everything looks fine in the editor and in Windows the build works fine, however all my Mac builds fail to play the video. I'm pretty sure it's some sort of encoding issue, I've done a bunch of different encoding tests, but so far none of them have been able to play in Mac builds,
    Has anyone got this working, what encoding settings did you use? I'm using 5.6.1f1

    We have even bigger problem. Video is playing just fine in editor, but when build using "Cloud Build" service the same video is no more and in logs we have:

    We also have similar problems with some windows machines.
