Android apk don't play video from StreamingAssets

Unity Services
1

I’m still trying to understand why cloud build don’t play video using native player.
If i build apk locally everything works. well.

here is a log cat from device when error appears

It’s strange because i have mp4 file, but it show something about FLV

Looks like i’m not alone. here is the same unsolved problem Android Handheld.PlayfullscreenMovie not working from Cloud Build - Questions & Answers - Unity Discussions

One more here, just to confirm it is a widespread issue, apparently. Building with latest 4.x stable on CloudBuild. Local builds all play video fine.

We currently investigate this problem, stay tuned!

Well, it was worth a shot!

I am having this exact same issue with building to iOS. Has there been any resolution? All of our apps include video, so if this cannot be fixed, it renders this service pretty much useless for us :frowning:

heh :smile: (here I am)
Sorry for the long dely :sweat_smile:
The “good” news is I could finally reproduce it myself, however I have no solution yet. But we are on it, so we should have one soon! :sunglasses:

David,

I know that playing video is only available in the “pro” versions of Unity (which I have). Could that be causing the issue somehow?

I won’t say no, as it might be possible, but we look currently into other directions. I hope we find a solution soon. We’ll keep you up to date!

8

We rolled out a fix for this problem! :sunglasses: Could you please give it a go and build your projects again to see if it is fixed? Please let us know how it goes! :slight_smile:

You betcha! Stay tuned…

Hi David! Still no love on building an app that runs video. It builds and runs fine locally, but not from here. It’s also started missing 2d assets that I know are on the SVN, but never seem to make it into the app when built from here.

Which file types do you use for the video. Which 2d assets are gone missing? Have you made a proper checkout to see if the files are checked out properly?
