Video player fails to stream - Unity 6

Unity Engine

For some reason the unity video player is failing to stream a URL, it only plays it for a few seconds and then errors out. The error is:

AVFoundationVideoMedia error while reading https://
Context: GetNextSampleBuffer (reader failure, status 3)
Error details: NSError code: -1
domain: NSURLErrorDomain
desc: unknown error
reason: (null)

Seems to be a Unity 6 issue, but this problem does not exist in older versions of Unity and the code is unchanged.

I tried downloading the file first, and then playing it setting the url as file:// and it does work without problems, so it appears like it’s a streaming bug.

for more context, the URL that is being played is only valid for a short period of time, the video fails to continue playing around the same time the url expires, so perhaps they aren’t keeping the socket open or something?

Any ideas or workarounds?

@TheJavierD Has this issue already been resolved in the newer Unity versions?
I currently have a project that uses Vimeo, and I am planning to upgrade from Unity 2021 to Unity 6, so I am very interested in this matter.
Thank you.
