Title: WWWObject [SOLVED]
Post by: ArctheLad on November 17, 2014, 11:02:17 AM
Hi forum,

I am currently looking at using WWWObject. The issue I am having is after setting up the WWWObject with the URL and the Set Movie texture, then assigning the Movie texture, I am going into a final state that has the action of Play Movie Texture, the video is not playing however.

My set up is that everything is on a manager, specifying the game object as a plane with an audio component attached. The first state is an Idle that waits for 10seconds. The second state just has the WWWObject with the youtube URL and a Movie texture object variable. The third state is Set Material Movie Texture with a material called TV, the Video object variable and the specified plane and then the final state has Play movie texture with the video variable assigned to it.

Are you using Unity Pro?

Are you sure the WWW is retrieving the movietexture from the URL successfully? (As in, you can see it apply the video onto the plane).. Seems like this could be a likely hangup since the direct browser URL won't retrieve the embedded page video.

I tested with an ogg file link online and it seems to work.

When I run the FSM the plane with the material goes black. I am just using a standard Youtube URL.

I don't think this works currently...
http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/WWW-movie.html

The docs say that the content must be in ogg theora format so a direct stream download from youtube would not work. Maybe there is something on the asset store to enable this.
