Movie interaction

Unity Engine

Hi :slight_smile:

I’m looking into the possibility of working with movie files on the iPad and maybe even create a simple media player. I realize that there are some limitations such as being able to run fullscreen only. However, I haven’t been able to find information on whether I can control the movie files interactively.

Is it possible to have GUI controls as an overlay on top of a fullscreen movie on the iPad? Or can we do swipe controls to switch between files or something similar? Or is the movie playback feature supported by Unity on iOS simply too limited to do any kind of interactive media player?

The video player Unity is providing actually the Xcode native player. If you want to show your custom UI over the player then you need to do some tweaks on the Xcode. You can actually do it but need to good knowledge on Xcode Obj-c. There is a sample application in Xcode which has explained how to show custom UI over movie player!
