[Android] Loading videos from AssetBundles fails unless it's uncompressed and loaded from file

Video

-

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open user attached project
2. Build and Run on a device
3. Observe that loading uncompressed from file works
4. Observe that loading compressed from file and cache fails as well as loading uncompressed from cache

Expected result: loading videos from AssetBundle should not fail when it's compressed and loaded from file and cache as well as uncompressed loaded from cache

Reproduced in: 2018.3.0a1, 2018.2.0b4, 2018.1.0f2, 2017.3.2f1

Reproduced with:
LGE Nexus 5, OS Version 6
Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini, OS Version 6
HTC One Mini, OS Version 4

Does not reproduce on iOS, tested with: iPhone 6, iOS 10.3

  1. Resolution Note:

    This is not currently supported by the Unity video player. We do, unfortunately, have some platform-specific limitations and this particular one is noted here (under Android notes): https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Video.VideoPlayer.html.

    Our Android implementation currently uses Android's MediaExtractor and this library does not support flexible input handling going all the way back to the early versions of the OS that we currently support.

    In Unity 2020.x, we will add this feature, but it will only be supported on more recent versions of Android.

    Issue still persist on 2019.1.2f1.

    Android Logcat throws an error "AndroidVideoMedia::OpenExtractor could not translate archive to local file. Make sure file exist, is on disk (not in memory) and not compressed.

    Another Unity feature that works on paper but doesn't work in real life.

    We also face this issue. IOS works like a charm, android does not. Would be great to see this fixed anytime soon.

    Due to the fact that we have the same behavior but do not see the "VideoPlayer cannot play clip" error:
    What must be done to see this error?

    We have try with version 2018.2.3f1 and 2018.2.4f1 to load a VideoClip from an assetbundle for Android.
    It give us the following error:
    "VideoPlayer cannot play clip"

    It work on iOS though.

    Video transparency not working from file so we will end up packaging the final Android APK with all the videos.
