Unity Engine

I am using Unity 2019.4.9f1, exported to Xcode 12 beta targeting tvOS 14, following the example provided from Unity - Scripting API: VideoPlayer, setting URL to a video located in StreamingAssets folder will have the video reporting the correct length at the first frame after videoPlayer.Play() is called, and then 0 length from second frame onwards.

Hi,
Can you please let us know if this also happens when the target platform is Mac standalone or is this specific to TvOS?

Thanks and regards,

Hello! This happened only on tvOS. Tested on macOS and iOS and both don’t have problem with it.

Update: if I call videoPlayer.Stop() and videoPlayer.Play() again, it will be playing again. :slight_smile:
