Video VideoPlayer Crash on Android - workarounds?

Hello.

I've seen VideoPlaying on Android has encountered many issues in the past, but all seem closed now.

However, using Unity 2019.1.4f1, building to Android (Pixel 2, Android v9) and attempting to play a VideoPlayer still crashes the application or simply doesn't work (depending on the video being played).

With a local videoclip asset:
Crash. Full log can be found at https://gist.github.com/talyh/0eb38b201fcb0847d8b6af6e83a00b8b.

With a remote videoclip url:
Doesn't render the video, doesn't crash.

The sample project, along with built apk, can be found at:
https://github.com/talyh/UnityVideoPlayerIssue

Anyone venture a guess if this is an old issue resurfaced, a new issue, or just an improper configuration issue?

 

@DominiqueLrx - maybe?
Saw you dealt with similar issues at https://forum.unity.com/threads/anyone-got-video-player-working-in-android.459585/

 

I'm having exactly the same problem here... Can't find a solution

 

Having a similar issue, and think it may be to do with the size of the files at the URLs.
(Unity 2019.1.8f1, Android Device : Lenovo Phab 2 Pro)

I'm streaming videos from Microsoft Azure, which all works perfectly in the editor but not when I build to Android. I've been testing with two distinct videos, one is about 30 seconds and has a low resolution and seems to stream without issue, the second is almost 11 minutes and has a higher resolution. Even after several minutes the larger video won't play.

I'm assuming since the smaller video works, size may be what's causing the issue?

 

We are trying 1MB videos and seeing the same happen

adb log does not show a reason for the crash

 

I have the same issue on new Android 9, video not playing via url. But on android 6-7 works fine.
Log shows me this error

AndroidVideoMedia: Error opening extractor: -10000

 

I got the same problem.
and the device is honour 6 plus。
I have the log

It seems removing Vulkan prevents the crash. However the video does not play on Android

 

I have same problem of video not playing in Unity VideoPlayer in Android 9.0
The video from a url plays first time, so it looks like a caching problem, so adding this to url solved it for me

Code (CSharp):

1. newVideoUrl = videoUrl + "?" + (int)UnityEngine.Random.Range(0f, 1000f);           //to avoid caching in Android 9.0

 

@DominiqueLrx - Wondering if you can help (based on https://forum.unity.com/threads/anyone-got-video-player-working-in-android.459585/) or at least point us in the right direction, since this doesn't look like an isolated issue.

 

This seems work for me, playing the video on android
In Unity 2019.2.0f1

 

This worked for me. Unity 2019.2.0b5

 

This worked for me too. After remove Vulkan, app not crash anymore when play video. Video show well as normal.
