Hello, I learned about this product here on this forum, and it’s an excellent alternative for playing videos without having to use YouTube, which imposes various restrictions when trying to play its videos on other platforms, causing a lot of issues. So, I bought the Video Streaming Player WebGL asset. I’m currently using the example that comes with it. Consequently, I did a brief study.
The HISPlayerController object contains a script with the same name, HISPlayerController, and in a specific part of its code, it loads the URL of the video, which is also hosted on the HISPlayer server. However, for some reason that I haven’t figured out yet, the default video from the example is always played before the video I want to play, even though I have changed the link. This keeps happening, and I’m not sure if some object has this default video link configured in the Inspector window. I need help to resolve this. Thank you.

Hi @ontreus , Thanks for your nice words. What you sent to us is not the list of URLs that will be playing from start, but the list of URLs that will be played after the initial URL’s have finished playback.
To set the initial URL’s of the scene, please go to the scene hierarchy, select the HISPlayerController object, open the Multi Stream Properties property, open one element, and set the URL from there, as it is shown in this image, let us know how it helps:
