Quest Video not working
closed
GlitchyDev
On Unity 2019, latest SDK version, Quest users can not use/watch videos. It only shows as a white screen. This occurred after a properly Migration, and nothing changed other than the SDK.
I tested this with external videos (Not youtube)

Thank you to everyone who helped identify the issue!
Videos on Android require https.🔒

Fax I think this one can be closed, the correct cause was found in the comments (Android requires https)

Videos on quest are still working fine for me. However, your link doesn't work for me. I did however reupload your video to my server and now it works on quest for me. At first I thought it was the URL length, or the url encoded space which used to cause issues with video players in the past, but they both worked fine. Perhaps a regression with non standard ports since you're using port 5080?
My link that works: https://cdn.nyanpa.su/vrc/Ekoroshia.mp4

Temporal: Weird ? So perhaps units not liking port 5080 starting from 2019 ?

Though why would it be only on Android ?

miner28_3: Another quick test and I found the possible cause, https links work, but http does not. A bit of a weird regression, but at least its a simple work around. No reason not to use https anyway, and anyone can easily get an ssl cert with lets encrypt if you're hosting your own server.

Temporal: that's interesting? Is that unity or VRchat bug then ?

miner28_3: I wouldn't know

I think it needs some codec to make sure it works. You have h256 and older h264 codec. (HEVC is newer one)
I can make different tests and do research which will work for Quest. I have a lot different MP4 videos here.

MrDummy_NL: Its quite possible, I'm not sure if that particular Codec got dropped between Unity 2018 and Unity 2019, if so would be nice to know so I can update them all, and what Codec's I should use in the future

MrDummy_NL: were you able to test?

I can also confirm that the music does not work for quest users!

I tested myself and a few others for a control in the testing and it does indeed only affect quest users. Which is odd because before the update it worked just fine, now it doesn’t work at all.
