[WebGL] VideoPlayer is not rendered in WebGL builds when the video is loaded via URL
How to reproduce:
1. Open the attached project ("case_1188316-Webgl_bug.zip")
2. Open the repro scene ("SampleScene")
3. Switch build target to WebGL
4. Enter Play Mode and notice that the Video starts playing
5. Exit Play Mode
6. Make a WebGL build and run it
Expected results: Video starts playing in the build the same way as in the Editor
Actual results: VideoPlayer window stays completely black, warnings are thrown in the browser's console ("Error: WebGL warning: texSubImage2D: Source must not be null.")

The only way I was able to play the unity webgl video on an iPhone was using this browser: https://apps. apple. com/us/app/webxr-viewer/id1295998056 although I know this does not fix the real problem.

URL video stream is still not working on ios 13 webgl for me even in 2020.2.0a18.
Videos stream plays in firefox chrome, (chrome android) safari edge browsers.
I copied over the "video.js" from 2020.2.0a18 to currently used 2014.4.4f1
ProgramFiles\Unity\Hub\Editor\2019.4.4f1\Editor\Data\PlaybackEngines\WebGLSupport\BuildTools\lib
I added on line 11 after video.src = str;
video.preload = 'auto';
video.autoload = true;
This got rid of the "WebGL: INVALID_VALUE: tex(Sub)Image2D" error for me. not a full solution but a start -

Ok, so I was having the same issue of the video audio playing but screen was just black when running webgl. Solution for me was to not use the rendertexture method and instead use the VideoRenderMode.MaterialOverride instead. Not sure why this works and just targeting a rendertexture does not since it technically creates a rendertexture at runtime. But at least for my setup it works. Hope this helps others there.
