Addressable videos not working on Galaxy S9(Android 8.0)

[YMTIGER]

When I try to load and play the video in Addressables with LoadAssetAsync, it does not play correctly in
Galaxy S9(Android 8.0).

It plays fine on Pixel 4 (Android 13.0) with the exact same APK.

BiuldPC：Windows11, Unity 2022.3.16f1
Galaxy S9(Android 8.0)

[What we tried]

• Set ‘Asset Bundle Compression’ in Addressbles to ‘Uncompressed’
• Called Caching.ClearCache() and Caching.compressionEnabled = false; before loading Asset
• APK was uninstalled and reinstalled.
• Add CacheInitializationSettings.

How to disable Caching.compressionEnabled when caching a Videoclip-included addressable bundle?

In the beginning, I got this error message when failing to load a video clip in an addressable bundle: AndroidVideoMedia::OpenExtractor could not translate archive:/CAB-5b4cd0a92d354858f98b1392dd686137/CAB-5b4cd0a92d354858f98b1392dd686137.resource to local file. Make sure file exists, is on disk (not in memory) and not compressed.

Android Video Playback Failing (Error opening extractor)

When I was using Asset Bundles for video playback on Android I had to make sure the bundles were uncompressed, or video playback would fail with the OpenExtractor error. So I made sure my bundles weren’t compressed, and it worked fine. Now that I’ve migrated to Addressables, I’m again getting this OpenExtractor error (see below). 01/04 21:31:30.110 7993 8055 Warn Unity: 01/04 21:31:30.110 7993 8055 Warn Unity: (Filename: ./PlatformDependent/AndroidPlayer/Modules/Video/Private/AndroidVideoMedi…

Addressable videos not working on Android

I get the same error with videos I try to load from the disk (not part of the apk, nor in an asset bundle or in streaming assets, just a video file in /storage/emulated/0/BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER).

void Start()
{
    videoPlayer.errorReceived += ErrorHandle;
    StartCoroutine(loadMovie());
}

IEnumerator loadMovie()
{
    Caching.ClearCache();
    Caching.compressionEnabled = false;
  
    var req = Addressables.LoadAssetAsync<VideoClip>("mymovie");
    yield return req;
  
    videoPlayer.clip = req.Result;
    videoPlayer.Play();
}
void ErrorHandle(VideoPlayer player,string msg)
{
    Debug.LogError($"error = {msg}");
}

[Android Studio Logcat displays the following log]

If anyone has any information on this, let me know.

Did you try enabling “Use UnityWebRequest for Local Asset” for the Addressable group containing the video?

If it’s not working, try different “Asset Bundle Compression” options with “Use UnityWebRequest for Local Asset” enabled.

Thanks. I set up the image and it played correctly. The red circle was the important part. I had to call Caching.compressionEnabled = false, but I didn’t have to call Caching.ClearCache().

But I think the processing speed is slowing down, so I’m investigating. I hope I’m imagining things.

But I think the processing speed is slowing down

Hmmm… maybe I was mistaken. I checked with Profiler on StandaloneBuild and the performance didn’t change.
