Question by zalderhi · Jan 31, 2019 at 01:03 PM · buildlicensefreezelinuxversion

Does Video player require a pro license to build to device?

Hey,

I have the unity video player working in the editor. The video plays as expected in the preview, but when I build my application to my device, it does not play. It's like it freezes on the first frame.

I do not have a pro license, I am using the free one. Is this feature only part of the pro? Also I am running unity on Arch Linux, so I am unsure if the version could also be a problem.

Thank you in advance!

no it doesnt you can build it with the free version, are you building to a mobile device? i once tried to use it in android devices and had a lot of trouble and was not fully supported, not every device could play the videos, i would suggest checking the documentation since there is a lot of thinks you need to make sure for it to work correctly

Yes, I am trying to build to an Android device. I made sure to check the android device video codec's requirements and use a video that would work both with Unity and the device. I also checked that the Android version was correct and the video quality was correct. I will keep looking into this situation, but I am unsure that this will ever even work. @xxmariofer were you ever able to get it to work on your Android device?

I managed to get it working in half of the devices tested. Was some time ago and i dont really remmember what version of android / hardware requirements were needed, but i had to search in the internet for people with that same issue until y found out that not all devices were supported, i just remember than in samsung galaxy s6 was working but my leeco le pro 3 couldnt (who in paper was better so isnt a performance issue.) In my case sincd i could get the framds i just imported them into unity and created an animation with the framds that worked fine, (werent long videos just a few seconds so was good for me)
