Can't play live streaming videos

[mecadiego113]

We recently purchased this awesome AVProVideo asset to play video streamings in Unity.

Our current problem is that we cannot play standard HTTP videos from URL (like http://192.168.1.1:8080). We used to be able to do that with other plugins or assets for Unity like the Universal Media Player (which I think uses VLC libraries). Is there any way to play this kind of realtime streaming videos comming from HTTP/HTTPS URLs?

Thank you!

Hi @mecadiego113,

Thank you for your message.

Streaming support is very much platform dependent. More info here: https://www.renderheads.com/content/docs/AVProVideo/articles/feature-streaming.html

It would be helpful if you could provide additional details: Describe the issue A clear and concise description of what the issue is. Your Setup (please complete the following information): Unity version: AVPro Video version (number and edition (trial/core/ultra/enterprise)): Operating system version: Device model: Video specs (resolution, frame-rate, codec, file size): Videos If applicable, add a copy of your video or the URL Scripts If applicable, add a copy of any custom scripts used.

HTTP(S) URLs are fully supported across all platforms so I'm not sure why this isn't working for you. What kind of media are you trying to playback? (HLS or mp4).

We use local network URLs all the time here for testing so something like http://192.168.1.1:8080/path/to/video.mp4 will definitely work. If it's not working for you then I would suggest either your server setup is incorrect or you have a firewall blocking access.

Can you provide an example URL that is not working?

HTTPS will require that the certificate is valid which may be problematic, self-signed certificates are unlikely to work.

Can you provide a bit more information please @mecadiego113 ?

@mecadiego113 Android can be funny about http. Https is absolutely fine.
Perhaps try the solution offered in here: https://github.com/RenderHeads/UnityPlugin-AVProVideo/issues/510 If that does not work, it is most likely your server setup.
