    Hi, I'm trying to load a movie from url but it doesn't work, here is my code:

    Code (CSharp):
    1.        
    2.  
    3.  public MovieTexture movieTexture;
    4.  public AudioSource audioSource;
    5.  
    6.     void Start()
    7.     {
    8.         StartCoroutine(StartVideo());
    9.     }
    10.     IEnumerator StartVideo()
    11.     {
    12.         var wwwData = new WWW("http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.ogv");
    13.         yield return wwwData;
    14.         MovieTexture m = wwwData.movie;
    15.         while (!m.isReadyToPlay)
    16.         {
    17.             print("WaitAndPrint " + Time.time);
    18.         }
    19.     }
    MoviePlayback::LoadMovieData got NULL!
    UnityEngine.WWW:get_movie()
    <StartVideo>c__IteratorA:MoveNext() (at Assets/Scripts/MovieTexturePlayer.cs:29)
    UnityEngine.SetupCoroutine:InvokeMoveNext(IEnumerator, IntPtr)

    Unity ver. 5.4 0f3

    Line 29 is: MovieTexture m = wwwData.movie; It' s works then i drag and drop local movie to script field without www().
    I was tring to change movie format but it didint worked. Now i'm loading my local movies from resources. by:
    Code (CSharp):
    1.  string movieTexturePath = "Unity";
    2.         movieTexture = (MovieTexture)Resources.Load(movieTexturePath, typeof(MovieTexture));
    3.         GetComponent<RawImage>().texture = movieTexture;
    4.         audiosource.clip = movieTexture.audioClip;
    5.         movieTexture.Play();

    Same here! Any fix for this yet? Sorry if I'm not supposed to reply to this thread, but this seems to be a really irritating problem in the community...

    EDIT:
    Finally found out what was wrong... It appears that the built-in WWW.Movie code doesn't support MP4 videos (or anything other than ogg/ogm videos)... Guess I've got to find a way to convert them on the fly... Dang...

    The videos should be .ovg, if it doesn't work try using unity 5.2.3, It seems to be a bug on unity 5.x with www.movie (the bug isn't on 5.2.3)

    PD: some people says that it is working even when displaying the error, but just if using .ovg videos
