Can one play movies or gifs on textures in unity?

Question

Can I play a gif or a .mov or .mp4 on a texture in unity?

for example I have a plane with a texture and on the plane a pre made animation plays in a loop?

This would be used practically for lets say having a Tv in game which would play the news on it while the player walks around the room.

You could also try a script like the following, which makes use of Mono's System.Drawing library: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/AnimatedGifDrawer
