Play audio during fullscreen movie playback
Hi,
I'm using Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie to play a video file in my game, and I need to be able to play music in the background while the video is playing. I tried just playing the music before starting the video but it doesn't keep playing and I can't find any information about doing this.
Will this even work ? or is there a different way ? (short of re-encoding all the videos with the music added)
Thanks.
Straight from the documentation...
Calling this function will pause Unity during movie playback. When playback finishes Unity will resume.
I had a problem with this as well. The only way around this I could see would be to use a movie texture on a 3D plane in your scene so you can handle playing back the movie and the audio clip simultaneously. If you're going super serious mode, I suggest using a plugin like the AVPro plugins from RenderHeads. They've worked great for me in the past and they offer wonderful support.
EDIT: Alternatively, you could re-encode your videos with the audio you want. It sounds like you're trying to avoid that though. :)
I figured as much. I knew that Unity paused, but I was hoping there was some way to start audio and keep it going even after pausing or something.
I'm having the videos re-encoded this morning, it seems like the only (and easiest) way, oh well. Thanks.
