Video Video Player issues in Linux when playing from URL

Hello,

I am having troubles making VideoPlayer play videos from URL in Linux devices. I can't play a video from an URL (local or from internet), it always says "Can't play movie". I have tried several videos from several URLs but it is always the same error. If I download the videos and set VideoPlayer to play directly from a videoclip it works perfectly.
It also works like a charm in Editor, iOS, Android, Windows and OSX, it is only failing in Linux.
I am using Unity 2018.2.13f1 (although I have tried also with 5.6) and Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.

If anyone have any clue or hint about what I am doing wrong it would be great.

Thanks everyone for reading.

Regards.

 

same problem( are you fixed it?

 

No, sorry.
Finally I added the videos to the app in the Linux version so I can play them directly from the app.

 

I found solution! it works! just convert your video to webm with vp8 video and vorbis audio.

 

Great! Thanks!
Unfortunately, I am not the owner of the videos nor the server where they are hosted, so I am afraid I can't ask for a conversion.

Anyway, it is a great help to know where the problem is.

 

It only does that within the UNITY environment that when you compile it for LINUX and run the program, the videos are not seen.
