Just realized this bug on a new Pixel 3a with Android 10. We urgently need a fix for Unity 2018.4 LTS for all our apps. This is major issue.

I downloaded Unity 2019.2.11f1, where it says that the issue is resolved for Android 10. But this doesn't seem to be solved in this version as well. The video is not playing on Android10 devices.
Are there any extra steps that are to be taken to make it work? Like use another function/code snippet.

setDataSourceFd seems to be a function of MediaPlayer in Android. How can we implement in Unity in order to play video from the local storage?

Resolution Note (fix version 2020.1):
Fixed an Android 10 video player bug when playing local, external files. Th code change works around what appears to be a bug in Android MediaExtractor's setDataSource function in Android 10. It no longer seems to handle permissions correctly and fails when trying to load local, external files. Assets in the project work, but when trying to access a file local to the device, and the necessary permissions have been granted, it will still fail. Luckily, there is another setDataSourceFd function where we can open the file ourselves and pass in the file descriptor and that works reliably.
