Problem Streaming Video

Unity Engine
1

Hi All,

I seem to be encountering a wierd issue when trying to stream videos from VLC.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class testScript : MonoBehaviour {

	private WWW wwwData;
    private string url = "http://localhost:8081/test.ogg";
	private MovieTexture movieObj;
	private AudioClip audioObj;
	
	IEnumerator Start() {
        wwwData = new WWW(url);
		
		yield return new WaitForSeconds(2.0f);
		
        movieObj = wwwData.movie;
		audioObj = movieObj.audioClip;
		
		renderer.material.mainTexture = movieObj;
		audio.clip = movieObj.audioClip;
		
		movieObj.Play();
		audio.Play();	
    }
}

Based on the above code, I can only hear the music, but the video stops on the first frame and the entire unity lags. If i comment out the audio.Play() at the end, the video plays fine without any sound. I have tried checking “movie.isReadyToPlay”, but it always returns false. Anyone have any idea whats going on ?

This script was tested by attaching it to a plane in a new/empty scene. Changing the start to a normal void function and removing the 2 seconds wait makes no difference as well. VLC is streaming a Ogg container with Theora and Vorbis codecs via HTTP.

PS, should this be posted here or in the scripting section ?

BUMP having the exact same problem. Also using VLC. This looks like a four year old bug.
I guess I can now doubt this is being taken seriously.
