[SOLVED] Does someone have a working script sample with Handheld.Playfullscreenmovie on Android ?

Question

Hello Everybody!

I am working on project under Unity 4.2 pro.

I spent hours to find a solution but no way. I need your help :

I would like to play movies with Handheld.PlayfullScreenMovie(). Do you have a working project or a sample that i can try to export on android ?

I created "StreamingAssets" folder
under "Assets" folder.
I put into it my movie "doseriche.mp4".
Then the path in Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie should be "doseriche.mp4" under Android, am i wrong ?
In Player settings, i set "Write Access" to "External".
I tried different paths.

But it still doesn't work.

Here is my code :

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class test_handheld : MonoBehaviour
 {
     string fileName = "doseriche";
     string fileExtension = ".mp4";
 
     string filepath;
     string s = string.Empty;
 
     string url = "http://[...]/tests_devonly/";
 
     private Vector2 scrollPosition;
     bool done = false;
 
     void Play(string p)
     {
         //iPhoneUtils.PlayMovie(p, Color.white);
         s += p + ": " + Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie(p, Color.white, FullScreenMovieControlMode.Full, FullScreenMovieScalingMode.Fill) + "\n";
     }
 
     void Start()
     {
         Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie(fileName + fileExtension);
         StartCoroutine(BeginDownload());
     }
 
     void OnGUI()
     {
         GUILayout.Box(s);
 
         scrollPosition = GUILayout.BeginScrollView(scrollPosition);
         {
             if (GUILayout.Button("file://" + fileName + fileExtension, GUILayout.Height(30)))
                 Play("file://" + fileName + fileExtension);
             if (GUILayout.Button(fileName + fileExtension, GUILayout.Height(30)))
                 Play(fileName + fileExtension);
 
             if (GUILayout.Button("file://" + fileName, GUILayout.Height(30)))
                 Play("file://" + fileName);
             if (GUILayout.Button(fileName, GUILayout.Height(30)))
                 Play(fileName);
 
             if (GUILayout.Button("jar:file://" + Application.dataPath + "!/assets/" + fileName + fileExtension, GUILayout.Height(30)))
                 Play("jar:file://" + Application.dataPath + "!/assets/" + fileName + fileExtension);
             if (GUILayout.Button("jar:file://" + Application.dataPath + "!/assets/" + fileName, GUILayout.Height(30)))
                 Play("jar:file://" + Application.dataPath + "!/assets/" + fileName);
 
             if (GUILayout.Button(Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/" + fileName + fileExtension, GUILayout.Height(30)))
                 Play(Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/" + fileName + fileExtension);
             if (GUILayout.Button(Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/" + fileName, GUILayout.Height(30)))
                 Play(Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/" + fileName);
         }
         GUILayout.EndScrollView();
 
         if (done)
         {
             if (GUILayout.Button(filepath, GUILayout.Height(30)))
                 Play(filepath);
             if (GUILayout.Button("file://" + filepath, GUILayout.Height(30)))
                 Play("file://" + filepath);
         }
     }
 
     #region comment download under Android
     IEnumerator BeginDownload()
     {
         string path = Application.persistentDataPath;
         filepath = path + "/" + fileName + fileExtension;
         WWW www = new WWW(url + fileName + fileExtension);
         yield return www;
         s += "DONE!" + "\n";
         done = true;
         System.IO.File.WriteAllBytes(filepath, www.bytes);
     }
     #endregion
 }

Do you have a working project i can try to export to android ?

Thanks a lot for any help !!

Solved Playfullscreenmovie is a Android Pro feature ! This is not indicated in documentation

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class playmovie : MonoBehaviour {
     private string movPath = "doseriche.mp4";
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
         StartCoroutine(PlayStreamingVideo(movPath));
     }
 
     private IEnumerator PlayStreamingVideo(string url)
     {
         Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie(url, Color.black, FullScreenMovieControlMode.Full, FullScreenMovieScalingMode.AspectFill);
         yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
         yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
         Debug.Log("Video playback completed.");
     }
 }

So I just spent half a day trying to do the impossible?

Why would they not include this very important info in the docs?!

It's in there somewhere. Docs are improved continuously, I think it's tough for Unity $$anonymous$$m to spot everything :P

Good job finding the answer. If you need a short (SHORT!) clip, you could use @Eric5h5's awesome, simple and elegant Texture Swap Animator.
