Hi, I’ll try and keep this simple.
Right now I have a series of ogv files on dropbox ready to be played. My target platforms are iOS and Android. I want to know whether it is possible to use Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie() to play a video from a url. So something like this:
string url = "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/00000000/Movies/Movie01.ogv"
Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie(url, Color.black, FullScreenMovieControlMode.Full, FullScreenMovieScalingMode.AspectFill);
I have tried this myself and the video screen pops up, remain black and disappears after a few seconds. I have tried waiting until the end of frame and other waits after calling ‘Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie ()’ but don’t seem to have any luck in making it work.
Should I be using something like the above? Or should I be using a WWW to download the movie and play it? As I understand it Unity mobile does not support MovieTextures, and, whilst there are plugins out there that allow such a thing to be done, I’d rather use the proper/native movie playing interface if possible.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
