    Has there been any updates to the VideoPlayer on Linux to support more than webm software decoding?

    Hi John!

    It is still our plan to eventually open up the VideoPlayer's decoding backend so external developers can extend what Unity supports natively. But for now, as there are no stock libraries that provide video decoding on Linux, we still only support VP8 video and Vorbis audio in a webm container.
