Creating Asset Bundle with Video

Unity Engine
1

Hi,

I would like to understand how I can create a assetbundle Android / ios importing into video format or .mp4. ogv.

I have this error:
MovieTexture 'is not supported a when building for Android.

I would like to avoid building a separate system to download the video using the WWW and then advantage the mechanism dell’assetbundle.

Unfortunately, MovieTextures are not supported on Android and iOs.

You can use this feature, but you will need android and/or iOs pro if I’m not mistaken.

Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie

I try to explain better

I’m building a assetBundle for Android (and IOS) for entering into a .mp4 video.

To build the assetBundle use this feature

 BuildPipeline.BuildAssetBundle (Selection.activeObject, Selection.objects, path, BuildAssetBundleOptions.CollectDependencies | BuildAssetBundleOptions.CompleteAssets, BuildTarget.Android);

But this function when I insert the MP4 OBJECT the entire package .unity3d gives me the error :

 MovieTexture 'is not supported a when building for Android.

so my question is:
"How can I build a package .unity3D mobile by entering into an mp4 file?

Any reason why you want to do an Asset Bundle for a movie?

The only way to play a video on android/iOs, to my knowledge, is using

Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie

Read here: Unity - Scripting API: Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie

You have to create a folder and put your movie in there: Asset/StreamingAssets
and then you play the video this way:

function Start () {
    Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie ("StarWars.mp4", Color.black,     FullScreenMovieControlMode.CancelOnInput);
}

Note that this is a Android-Pro feature. Doing asset bundles also requires a Android Pro license.

I know the reasons and licenses for use as a AssetBundle. I need to load new resources at run-time. The AssetBundle will be loaded from a server online and will contain other resources (images, audio and video).

I have already searched the internet and the solution they propose is to use the WWW but I would avoid using a different logic to handle only the video.

I hope I have explained the scenario.
So my question is:
How can I add a Video in a ASSETBUNDLE MOBILE?

Thank you

same here. We want to add a mp4 file to assetbundle for using it with vuforia. But we cannot add it to assetbundle from streamingasset folder. Some ideas? Thanks, Felix

Unity added a new video player system and videos can now be set to video clips. These should be able to be asset bundled now. Have you tried the new system before bumping an age old post?
