IOS_Pro features ... not correct!

Unity Engine
,

Hi All,

Before we Buy the Unity 3 with the IOS Pro license, we made a lot of research about the new features , one of these features was the Video Playback and Streaming, as the image below shows : we can Improt and Play back videos on the Ipad for example and put it onto any 3d surface !!! which is unfortunately not true!!!

i searched a lot how could we do that on the Ipad and that what i got from the documentation :

iPhoneUtils.PlayMovie … this function Plays a full-screen movie on the iPad not on a 3d surface like what the feature shows.

if am wrong of any of these information i hope someone could help me, or just lead me to the right way to play a movie of a 3d surface on the i-pad.

thank a lot .

Have you noticed the small “2,3” in the field for iOS Pro?
If you scroll down it says:
3 Video playback can only occur fullscreen on iOS devices, playback as a texture on a surface is not supported.

So they don’t say you can render it on a surface for iOS.

EDIT: Jessy was faster :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyone knowing how iOS works at all does not need that as its widely known that the MoviePlayer API only offers fullscreen playback, it does not offer playback on images.
