c# - Using new Unity VideoPlayer and VideoClip API to play video -

movietexture deprecated after unity 5.6.0b1 release , new api plays video on both desktop , mobile devices released.

videoplayer , videoclip can used play video , retrieve texture each frame if needed.

i've managed video working coduldn't audio play as-well editor on windows 10. know why audio not playing?

//raw image show video images [assign editor] public rawimage image; //video play [assign editor] public videoclip videotoplay;  private videoplayer videoplayer; private videosource videosource;  //audio private audiosource audiosource;  // use initialization void start() {     application.runinbackground = true;     startcoroutine(playvideo()); }  ienumerator playvideo() {     //add videoplayer gameobject     videoplayer = gameobject.addcomponent<videoplayer>();      //add audiosource     audiosource = gameobject.addcomponent<audiosource>();      //disable play on awake both video , audio     videoplayer.playonawake = false;     audiosource.playonawake = false;      //we want play video clip not url     videoplayer.source = videosource.videoclip;      //set video play prepare audio prevent buffering     videoplayer.clip = videotoplay;     videoplayer.prepare();      //wait until video prepared     while (!videoplayer.isprepared)     {         debug.log("preparing video");         yield return null;     }      debug.log("done preparing video");      //set audio output audiosource     videoplayer.audiooutputmode = videoaudiooutputmode.audiosource;      //assign audio video audiosource played     videoplayer.enableaudiotrack(0, true);     videoplayer.settargetaudiosource(0, audiosource);      //assign texture video rawimage displayed     image.texture = videoplayer.texture;      //play video     videoplayer.play();      //play sound     audiosource.play();      debug.log("playing video");     while (videoplayer.isplaying)     {         debug.logwarning("video time: " + mathf.floortoint((float)videoplayer.time));         yield return null;     }      debug.log("done playing video"); } 

found problem. below fixed code plays video , audio:

//raw image show video images [assign editor] public rawimage image; //video play [assign editor] public videoclip videotoplay;  private videoplayer videoplayer; private videosource videosource;  //audio private audiosource audiosource;  // use initialization void start() {     application.runinbackground = true;     startcoroutine(playvideo()); }  ienumerator playvideo() {     //add videoplayer gameobject     videoplayer = gameobject.addcomponent<videoplayer>();      //add audiosource     audiosource = gameobject.addcomponent<audiosource>();      //disable play on awake both video , audio     videoplayer.playonawake = false;     audiosource.playonawake = false;      //we want play video clip not url     videoplayer.source = videosource.videoclip;      //set audio output audiosource     videoplayer.audiooutputmode = videoaudiooutputmode.audiosource;      //assign audio video audiosource played     videoplayer.enableaudiotrack(0, true);     videoplayer.settargetaudiosource(0, audiosource);      //set video play prepare audio prevent buffering     videoplayer.clip = videotoplay;     videoplayer.prepare();      //wait until video prepared     while (!videoplayer.isprepared)     {         debug.log("preparing video");         yield return null;     }      debug.log("done preparing video");      //assign texture video rawimage displayed     image.texture = videoplayer.texture;      //play video     videoplayer.play();      //play sound     audiosource.play();      debug.log("playing video");     while (videoplayer.isplaying)     {         debug.logwarning("video time: " + mathf.floortoint((float)videoplayer.time));         yield return null;     }      debug.log("done playing video"); } 

why audio not playing:

//set audio output audiosource videoplayer.audiooutputmode = videoaudiooutputmode.audiosource;  //assign audio video audiosource played videoplayer.enableaudiotrack(0, true); videoplayer.settargetaudiosource(0, audiosource); 

must called before videoplayer.prepare(); not after it. took hours of experiment find this problem having.

stuck @ "preparing video"?

wait 5 seconds after videoplayer.prepare(); called exit while loop.

replace:

while (!videoplayer.isprepared) {     debug.log("preparing video");     yield return null; } 

with:

//wait until video prepared waitforseconds waittime = new waitforseconds(5); while (!videoplayer.isprepared) {     debug.log("preparing video");     //prepare/wait 5 sceonds     yield return waittime;     //break out of while loop after 5 seconds wait     break; } 

this should work may experience buffering when video starts playing. while using temporary fix, suggestion file bug title of "videoplayer.isprepared true" because bug.

some people fixed changing:

videoplayer.playonawake = false;  audiosource.playonawake = false; 

to

videoplayer.playonawake = true;  audiosource.playonawake = true;

play video url:

replace:

//we want play video clip not url videoplayer.source = videosource.videoclip; 

with:

//we want play url videoplayer.source = videosource.url; videoplayer.url = "http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4"; 

then remove:

public videoclip videotoplay; , videoplayer.clip = videotoplay; these not needed anymore.
