Video Texture

Hi there

If the video is very small loading it it on demand will work however in my testing I had to preload it onto a small object hidden in the scene just like a material swap. Otherwise I could get a black screen while the file loaded.

The video loader demo provided works as long as certain conditions are true. I won’t get into those since your puzzles are pretty much identical to the example and your video is very small in file size.

The main difference you are fighting are resolution, UV mapping and probably, the fact your video starts on a black screen.

The example fish video is 1280×720 and your video is 300×224. I am betting that the video is playing but since the UVs are set for a 1280 image…your image is just not visible. You could start with mapping a 300×224 image to the video display object…adjusting the UVs and then I would bet this example will work.

If you are trying to do this from App Manager and are not trying to view this from your server you will get a CORS error. The file can’t be loaded from a different website…if you are using App Manager you are using localhost and nothing external will load.

You can move the video file local or when you publish your project to the same server you have the video it will work.

Note these puzzles will work under limited circumstances. You will want to preload the video prior to playing it and validate it’s able to play before requesting it to play for the user. Otherwise, you can get black screens for other reasons related to memory issues, especially on slower internet connections and mobile devices.
