Playing a video file from HDD

Questions & Answers
1

I was wondering if it would be possible to build a video player within Unity which could play videos not imported in the editor? So using a file dialogue to select the file, then playing it to a video texture.

I’m expecting a resounding NO! but you have to ask :slight_smile:

Yes. Load the video using the WWW class, and use a file:// protocol. That will work in a standalone build. A webplayer is sandboxed and has no access to the local hard-drive.
