Mobile Movie Texture

Hey Diego, sorry about that, I could well believe I have a threaded race condition in there.

I'll try and reproduce it.

 

The current retail version doesn't work without Pro either :-/

 

Thanks Pedro, I just found the problem.

As a work around, can you add a MobileMovieManager component to any active game object in your scene please? I'm just working on a proper fix

 

No native support for audio, sorry.

Nothing stops you playing a sound at the same time though. People have had varying success with it.

 

Hi Dan, thanks for the reply, no worries.

 

Version 2.0.4 01/05/2014
iOS/Android: Fix 'green textures' problem.

Have green screen on android in demo version. Is it the same version as FULL version?

 

As a workaround, add a MobileMovieManager component to any active object in your scene. Sorry, I'll fix the demo version properly soon.

 

MobileMovieManager script is already on the scene. I will be waiting for fixed demo version.

 

By the way you can put .apk as an example, where all works.

 

Any look reproducing the (possible threaded race condition) bug?

A scene with a lot of complex content and more than one movie reproducing at a time helps...

Really hope we can find a solution, it's kinda urgent..

 

I saw a blurb about this, but I wanted to confirm that this tool will allow us to play video files that are NOT, repeat NOT, in the /Streaming Assets folder. The fact that that folder is read only is what's causing our project to stall, so if your tool does this, audio or not, it's a good thing to know.

 

Great idea. I'll do it next week. Currently on the road without a android pro licence :-/

 

Haven't had a chance yet. Sorry :-( If you don't need the seeking, you can always go back to 1.1.7... I can pm you a link

 

You can do this with the demo version, just check the "Absolute path" bool in the MMT component. Sorry if it wasn't obvious :-/

 

I don't need seeking, but changing the speed of the video while reproducing it without interruptions is important (I'm using 2.0.0 and it does that just fine).

Please, send me a link to the 1.1.7!

 

Hi Dan,
I'm evaluating your plugin, and will buy it if you can help me resolve this issue.
I've got an Augmented Reality Scene running Vuforia, and I need a Video played on the faces of a "cube" (its actually 6 planes stuck together).
All works fine untill I try to load the Vuforia Plugin. At that Point Unity gives me the following errors when running in play mode:

Code (csharp):

1. UnityException: Creating texture from native texture is PRO only.
2. UnityEngine.Texture2D..ctor (Int32 width, Int32 height, TextureFormat format, Boolean mipmap, Boolean linear, IntPtr nativeTex) (at C:/BuildAgent/work/d3d49558e4d408f4/artifacts/EditorGenerated/TextureBindings.cs:142)
3. UnityEngine.Texture2D.CreateExternalTexture (Int32 width, Int32 height, TextureFormat format, Boolean mipmap, Boolean linear, IntPtr nativeTex) (at C:/BuildAgent/work/d3d49558e4d408f4/artifacts/EditorGenerated/TextureBindings.cs:150)
4. MMT.MobileMovieTexture.AllocateTexures () (at Assets/MobileMovieTexture/MobileMovieTexture.cs:500)
5. MMT.MobileMovieTexture.Update () (at Assets/MobileMovieTexture/MobileMovieTexture.cs:348)

Also The Cube is rendered black (the default colour of the Movie Material?), whereas it played the video successfully prior to importing vuforia.

I have the full version of Unity Pro (I had to do a sanity check to make sure I actually did then, I'll admit).

I'd appreciate a speedy resolution on this as I need the app ready by the beginning of next week!
Thanks
Joe

 

I would appreciate it very much if you could tell me the way not to crush the application when I use your plugin I customized on Samsung's devices.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5.  
6. public class TestMobileTexture : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     private MMT.MobileMovieTexture m_movieTexture;
9.  
10.     void Awake()
11.     {
12.         m_movieTexture = GetComponent<MMT.MobileMovieTexture>();
13.         m_movieTexture.onFinished += OnFinished;
14.     }
15.  
16.  
17.     void OnFinished(MMT.MobileMovieTexture sender)
18.     {
19.         Debug.Log(sender.Path + " has finished ");
20.         NextMovie();
21.     }
22.  
23.     string[] movies = new string[] {"ExplosionSplitAlpha.ogv", "HandOfFate.ogv", "IHSG_smash.ogg"};
24.     int pos = 0;
25.  
26.     void NextMovie()
27.     {
28.         m_movieTexture.Stop();
29.         pos = (pos + 1) % movies.Length;
30.         m_movieTexture.Path = "MovieSamples/" + movies[pos];
31.         m_movieTexture.Play();
32.     }
33.  
34.     private void OnGUI()
35.     {
36.         GUILayout.BeginArea(new Rect(0.0f, 0.0f, Screen.width, Screen.height));
37.  
38.         var currentPosition = (float)m_movieTexture.playPosition;
39.  
40.         var newPosition = GUILayout.HorizontalSlider(currentPosition,0.0f,(float)m_movieTexture.duration);
41.  
42.         if (newPosition != currentPosition)
43.         {
44.             m_movieTexture.playPosition = newPosition;
45.         }
46.        
47.         GUILayout.FlexibleSpace();
48.         GUILayout.BeginHorizontal();
49.         if (GUILayout.Button("Play"))
50.         {
51.             m_movieTexture.Play ();
52.         }
53.        
54.         if (GUILayout.Button("Play/Pause"))
55.         {
56.             m_movieTexture.pause = !m_movieTexture.pause;
57.         }
58.  
59.         if (GUILayout.Button("Stop"))
60.         {
61.             m_movieTexture.Stop();
62.         }
63.  
64.         if (GUILayout.Button("Next"))
65.         {
66.             m_movieTexture.Stop();
67.             NextMovie();
68.         }
69.  
70.         GUILayout.FlexibleSpace();
71.         GUILayout.EndHorizontal();
72.  
73.         GUILayout.EndArea();
74.  
75.      }
76. }
77.  

 

Waiting for .apk, that will work on my devices and going to buy, if all is good. Still having green screen in demo.

 

Hi

Is it possible to adjust the UV mapping (tiling and such) of the movie texture?

Thanks

 

Hi,

I have just bought the full version and I'm trying to use the same Movie texture for multiple objects that will play different videos. The only way I had it working was to duplicate the Movie texture and assign each object with a unique Movie texture. It worked when previewed in Unity, but when I ran it on my iPhone, all videos just showed a black screen.

Is there anyway to get the multiple videos going in iOS or Android? I read in your description on the Asset Store saying that it can support multiple videos. Thanks very much for your help in advance.

 

It wont let me upload a 18mb apk. PM me your email address and I'll mail it direct

 

Sort of. The video decode texture has up to a 16 pixel border around it, I set the uv matrix to crop this border. As long as you don't mind tilling the border as well, then feel free to override the uv matrix.

 

Are you also using unique materials per MMT component?

 

Yes I have duplicated the Movie material and have assigned each unique material to each pair of MovieTexture and Plane. Plays fine in Unity but only shows black on mobile.

Do I need to make unique MMT scripts for each of those pairs as well?

 

Possibly. I've lost you a bit. Can you send me the scene/project, then I'll understand

 

Nevermind. I have rebuilt the scene and got everything working now. Must have screwed up something on the way before. Thanks so much!

 

Is it possible to set the time of a video, or to start playing from a specific time? I will need to synchronize multiple feeds, and I can't think of a good way to do it without being able to set the time. I can't find this function in the API.

 

Then I have failed! What did you search for?

Code (csharp):

1. /// <summary>
2.         /// Use this to retrieve the play position and to seek. NB after you seek, the play position will not be exactly what you seeked to, as it is tries to find a key frame
3.         /// </summary>
4.         public double playPosition
5.         {
6.             get { return m_elapsedTime; }
7.             set
8.             {
9.                 if (m_nativeContext != IntPtr.Zero)
10.                 {
11.                     m_elapsedTime = Seek(m_nativeContext, value, m_seekKeyFrame);
12.                 }
13.             }
14.         }

 

Hi !

Is it possible to know when a frame is decoded and shown on screen. Because I really need a way to get notified when the video changes from one frame to another and also knowing which frame number is currently shown.

I tried using playPosition value to get the frame number using the FPS of my video in an update loop. But it's not accurate enough. Do you have any solutions ?

Thanks.

 

Hi,

Sorry for my post but i have a problem since i get the upgrade, it work on Android but no more on Windows, i don't understand why, the error is :
"EntryPointNotFoundException: CreateContext" so he doesn't create the context =( !

Plz answer me why it's not working, and sorry for my poor english ^_^

Thx U =)

 

Ah, thanks Dan! I must have missed it. I think I was looking mostly for "time" or something similar.

 

Hello,

I installed the Demo and have trying to play the MobileMovieTextureTest scene, but it always returns the "DllNotFoundException..../x86/theorawrapper.dll" error.

I checked and the Dll is in the folder indeed.

Any clue why am I wrong?

Thanks.

 

Try this http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=5555

 

Maybe try this http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=5555

Also, you have pro right?

 

I am having the same problem except on Android. I have a unique material on both objects I am displaying movies on. Though when I attempt to view them on my device they show up black.

 

Scratch that, Fixed it. I simply forgot to switch a few lines of code around from something else I was trying.

Though now it flashes a black box right before the video plays. I am not searching for keys or anything, just straight playing the video when it is triggered.

 

After upgrade to 2.0.4, I run the Scene MobileMovieTextureTest on the HTC desire s and it didn't go well (show as below screen capture)

The android version is 2.3.7

Hello Dan !
I downloaded the Demo version, and now, I'll buy the full version.
can you tell me what I have to do, to replace the Demo Version on my project with the full version ?
Thanks.
Andrew.

 

Hellow and thx for your response, but when i donwload this package and i want to install, i have an error, he said me that i have a better version on my computer =(.

 

unity 4.5 pro version in use.
Does not work. Is there a solution?

 

I think that you have to rebuild all the scripts in the project

From the Upgrade guide for Unity 4.5:

• Rendering: The internal value of TextureFormat.BGRA32 enum has changed. Any code using that enum in a .NET assembly must be rebuilt.

 

We have updated to Unity 4.5. It works like a charm on IOS, but on Android it is not working. Pink screen like the one pjy_727 attached. We are in a hurry because a deadline. Any workaround that you can propose? Any estimations for the update?

Thank you!!!

EDITED: It has been solved in the last version of the asset (v2.0.4). Thank you very much!

 

Try to check the material that you are using to reproduce the movie. Sometimes happened to me that the material was corrupted and i see the pink texture. Re-importing the plugin's material or creating from scratch a new one fixed the problem for me.

 

I bought from Asset store.

It is not in operation at Unity4.5.

When updated ?
It's available on Android

 

Hi!

I'm starting to use Mobile Movie Texture and I have a problem. I put my .ogg video in the Streaming Assets folder and put its path in the script. It works on the Unity, but when I use theapp on my Android (Samsung Galaxy S3) the video doesn't work.

Do you know what can I do?


Other question, I was looking for a tutorial of MMT, but I didn't found anithing, do you have one?


Thank's!

 

You can try to encode your video like suggested in the instructions. I have tested with S3 and everything works fine for me, both *.ogg file and *.ogv file.

No idea about tutorial, i'm sorry.

 

LAST VERSION TURNS METAIO CAMERA FEED INTO WHITE (iOS problem)

Hello.

We used to have a working Metaio + Mobile Video Texture project.

Now, while trying to update to Unity 4.5, I have been working in the integration of the Metaio SDK (v5.3) with your last update. I am founding a very strange behavior: when I include the asset, the Metaio camera feed turns into white. After a lot of attempts, I have discovered that it is due to the DLLImports in the MobileMovieTexture.cs. The first one I uncomment, turns the camera feed into white. If I comment them, (and manage to build the project), then the feed is ok.

Any ideas about how to solve this? I have to mention that no one of the imported functions are actually called in the code (I removed all the calls), so the problem must be related to the linkage stage.

Thank you very much in advance and kind regards!

Aernarion.

EDIT: To reproduce it, you can download the Metaio SDK for free here:

http://ar.metaio.com/download_sdk

and import the Mobile Movie Texture asset. You will need to comment lines 17, 18 and 76 of MobileMovieManager.cs to avoid a different conflict (one problem at a time, you know).

//[DllImport(PLATFORM_DLL)]
//privatestaticexternvoidUnityRenderEvent(inteventID);
.
.
.
//UnityRenderEvent(7);

EDITED: Last version of Metaio SDK has a function with the same name that another one in Mobile Video Texture asset. I contacted Dan and he helped me with a patch. I was also confirmed that the new Mobile Movie Texture release will fix this problem.

Regards,

 

Hello, we are trying to change the mobile movie texture path at runtime on an Android device. In the editor (Mac and PC), we can get this to work by setting the absolute path in the code to Application.persistantDataPth + "/FileName.ogv"; We then call .Play() on it.

When we deploy this to android the movie seems to stay black instead of changing to the movie. How can we change the movie path on android at runtime? We're using the purchased version.

Kieran

 

It should work. Internally it just does a fopen on that path. Can you confirm the movie is at that path? Can you send me a small reproducible please
