If you have this WindowsVideoMedia error, please reply to this thread with the following information (and anything else you can think of): - Your exact WindowsVideoMedia error - Unity Version - Operation System, and version - If you have Quicktime installed
okay… I’ve figured out what the problem was… on windows… it wasn’t able to identify the name of file if using Android build
it was trying to read the file as
“jar://file://E:/Unity_Development_v5.6.0f3/VideoPlayerV0.2/VideoPlayerV0.2/Assets/StreamingAssets/minecraft01.mp4”
after removing jar:// … windows was able to find it.
HOWEVER, the problem now resides when i build it onto my android phone… where it now can’t identify where the assets are on mobile…
In my video in the first post, I get WindowsVideoMedia errors without my “360 Video Controls” pack imported into the project. I’m just using plain Unity, and importing the .mp4, and I get the error (not using my pack).
Are you saying that you no longer have WindowsVideoMedia errors after modifying my scripts? How does this fix the WindowsVideoMedia error if I get the error without using my scripts at all?
The error you experienced: WindowsVideoMedia error 0x80070057 is different than the one I had, WindowsVideoMedia error 0xc00d5212.
Maybe there’s one error that is resolved via the code you fixed but there’s another error which is some bug in Unity? I’ll keep investigating , thanks for the help.
Having changed the script as you suggested, I’m still getting the following errors when trying to play video:

Could it be due to Windows 7 and 10 differences? I came about the solution after reading through a post about windows 10 and the way it read files by a gentlemen who was working with hololense.

Anyone found a real solution to this one yet?? Seems like a major bug to me.
Having the same issue on Windows 7 machines with quicktime installed. Also tested running Unity as administrator, no luck. Windows 10 and Mac OS machines work fine.

We’re using Media Foundation to decode H.264 videos on Microsoft platforms. And on Windows 7, Media Foundation cannot decode resolutions above 1920x1088. You can see the note saying “In Windows 7, the maximum …” in here: H.264 Video Decoder - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn
On Windows versions above this, the limit (also stated in the link) is 4096x2304.
We’ll try to improve error reporting so that people don’t get puzzled when hitting this. The message we’re getting out of Media Foundation (which is what we currently print out in the log) is obviously not precise enough, so we’ll see if we can still discover the file resolution and provide a more specific message about this.
