WindowsVideoMedia error

Unity Engine

Hello,

I am quite new to Untiy Scripting and have encountered the WindowsVideoMedia error 0x80070002 when trying to load a Video with videoPlayer.url command.
Every time I try to use the “url” method to access any video from my PC or even the Project Assets folder the error occurs and is followed by
VideoPlayer cannot play: url: /videoname.mp4
The video files work perfectly fine when inserting them manually in the Video Player interface - both as URL and a Clip.

I’ve been trying all sorts of solutions I found online, but the only thing that worked until now was streaming a video from website.
Does anybody here know what I did wrong and why I don’t seem to be able to play videos through
the url command?

(using Unity 2018.3.7f1 Personal)

```csharp
*using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Video;

public class LoadVideo : MonoBehaviour {

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {

  //  GameObject sphere = GameObject.Find("vSphere");

    var videoPlayer = gameObject.AddComponent<UnityEngine.Video.VideoPlayer>();
    videoPlayer.playOnAwake = false;
  
   var m_Path = Application.dataPath;
   Debug.Log("Path 1: " + m_Path);
   var s_Path = Application.streamingAssetsPath;
   Debug.Log("Path 2: " + s_Path);

    videoPlayer.source = VideoSource.Url;

    /* None of this seems to be working...*/
    // videoPlayer.url = "ricoh";
    // videoPlayer.url = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssetsPath, "ricoh.mp4");
    // videoPlayer.url = "Ressources/Videos/ricoh";
       videoPlayer.url = "/Users/TW/Videos/ricoh_1.mp4";
   // videoPlayer.url = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.streamingAssetsPath, "/ricoh_01.mp4");

   /*only this seems functional but doesn't really help me at all as I'm looking for a local solution*/
   // videoPlayer.url = "http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4";


    //  videoPlayer.Play();


    var vClip = Resources.Load<VideoClip>("ricoh") as VideoClip; ;

       videoPlayer.clip = vClip;

       videoPlayer.frame = 5;

       videoPlayer.Play();



}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
  
   // videoPlayer.Play();
}

}*
```
I hope someone can help me with this problem. I’ve spent days pulling my hair out over this. :slight_smile:

I found a temporary solution by using a local WAMP-Server to stream the video files. This seems to work absolutely fine. But if anybody has a more smooth solution to stream local video clip files I’d highly appreciate it. :wink:
