Timeline, recorder and video timing

Hello,
I've searched the forums about this and I only found one thread where someone mentioned it in his comment, but nobody seems to have noticed it, so I'm trying to ask it in a new post, hoping someone will take note.

I'm currently trying to play a video with Unity's built-in video player component. This video is modifying a texture on a plane sitting in front of the camera. The scene is quite simple, really.

Now, if I use a recorder track in Timeline and render it using a target camera (Main Camera) in FHD (1080p), the video plays at the right speed. But, if I render it using 360 View (2048x4096, 2048px cubemap), the video plays at least 300% the speed if not more. It's probably worth noting that the video is the only thing going faster... I have animated cameras and animated characters and they seem to play at the right speed. I still have to try with particles.

Has anybody else seen this before? Is it considered "normal behavior"? Has it been reported as a bug? If not, should I report it and where?

Thanks a lot

[Edit] I just updated to the latest "Unity Recorder" version and it's not even possible to save my file as an MP4 with the settings I wrote above. It's not technically supported, but it worked... Now, I receive a bunch of NullReferenceExceptions. How am I supposed to render to stereoscopic 360 degrees?[/Edit]

 

Ok, nice to know. Thanks a lot for the extremely quick response.

So, for the video,what is the best way to achieve what you are talking about? I don't start the video on awake and when I start it manually, I just go from frame to frame manually in "FixedUpdate" ou "Update"? My guess is DeltaTime will give me the real time delta and not the "frame time delta". Is there a property or method for doing that or should I have my own "counter"?

For the exception while rendering to mp4 with a "bigger than supported" frame, do you have a time estimate for the bug fix? Can I help? I'm a senior programmer and I have been programming professionally for the last 20 years and as a hobbyist for the last 34 years. The thing is, this feature is crucial for one of my projects as I'm using the recorder to render a presentation video and the video is due in about 3 to 4 weeks max.

Thanks a lot

using UnityEngine.Video;

public class Video : MonoBehaviour {

public GameObject myVideo;

private VideoPlayer video;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
video = myVideo.GetComponent<UnityEngine.Video.VideoPlayer>();
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if (video.isActiveAndEnabled)
{
video.Pause();
video.StepForward();
}
}
}


try this script…

 

Excellent, Thanks. I'll be sure to try that. My initial specs finally changed, so I don't need it right now, but I will need it by the end of the year, so I'll let you know if it works correctly.

 

where are we supposed to put this? as a new script as an addition to the camera? I'm probably going to try them all out hopefully but since this post is being used as directions by the official team with no other input we might as well get it written down here.

 

Put it anywhere you want in your scene, link the GameObject where your video player is in the Inspector.
Personally, I would put it next to the video player.

 

I've been working on other stuff and haven't gotten the time to test this out but that actually seems a bit confusing. are you saying the script simply needs to be attached to any game object in the scene? or should it be added to the original script that records the scene? posting a screenshot of your set up will probably help the best.
