question: best way to play 360 4k video

Hi, complete new in Unity, and trying to figure out how to get a very big 4K 360 video, to view with OVR, like in movieplayer liveviewrift.

Got the inverted sphere and everything, but how to attach a movie texture? It seems it wants to re-encode it by default, but my video is 10 minutes 4K video, and the codec is just fine as is, I dont want to recode. (it's mp4)

How to stream the video in stead?

cheers-

 

It looks like Unity uses the Apple QuickTime video player and the video needs to be in a format for that player. But I have noticed that Unity will often change the format of files depending on your target platform.

There is also a web cam texture http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/WebCamTexture.html
But I'm guessing this will only link directly to a web cam and may not allow a video feed to me manually sent to it.

 

yes you are rite, it changes the video format very often but we can change it manually by converter
