My game doesn't play video's in WebGL on play_unity_com

[TheRealRebel74]

Hi,
I made my first game in unity https://play.unity.com/mg/fps/the-shexinator
When I uploaded it to play.unity.com and I test played I noticed that the video’s are not playing.
On my own server I am able to get the videos playing by using the following code

videoPlayer.url = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssetsPath, video);

Anyone knows how I can make this work on play.unity.com?

Thanks!

Edit: Your issue may be related to CORS, so make sure you check it. You might also try this (though including your videos directly in your build increases build size).

THanks for the quick reply. I am going to have a look at it.

I did some more research and I notice that the videos are not found…
