Using a Movie Texture with uGUI

Is there any way to use a Movie Texture with the new UnityGUI?

I'd love for the movie to be a part of my UI and take advantage of the anchoring and other features of a rect transform.

 

I figured it out, it is already supported with RawImage. You just need to get the mainTexture component of the main image and cast it to a movie texture to start it playing.

 

Hey Dan, could you please let more detail or show some guide. Thanks

 

It's easy. You just add a Raw Image component, then assign a Movie Texture to the .texture property of the Raw Image. You then can cast the .texture property to a movie texture to access the methods like play, stop, loop, etc.

Obviously you have to have Unity Pro or you won't have movie textures.

 

Hello Dan,

Trying to play from mainTexture but can not RUN. Could you help me more? Thanks

 

Hello quenhoai2003,

I know it has been late, but I think I would post the answer here, so people who has the same question will know how to do it (I actually has just figured it out myself)

1. Create new Raw Image.
2. Drag the video into the Raw Image, so the video will be its texture. But now it doesn't play yet.
3. To make it play, add this new script:

(remember to add: "using UnityEngine.UI;" on the top)

MovieTexture movie = GetComponent<RawImage>().texture as MovieTexture;
movie.Play();​

Now the video will be played, but the sound is not.

4. Add the new component call "Audio Source" into the Raw Image. Then back to the script, write down this:

AudioSource sound = GetComponent<AudioSource>();
sound.clip = m.audioClip;
sound.Play();​

There you go!

Cheers,

 

Hey It's giving "error CS0116: A namespace can only contain types and namespace declarations" what can I do?

 

I believe that your code has some syntax problem.. Check your brackets again, make sure there are no unexpected closing bracket

For that error:

Hello mrgoonie, Thanks for your support, but its just play with preview in unity, when i build for ipad it have error: "Error building Player because scripts had compiler errors".

Did you ever build it out?

MovieTextures aren't available on mobile.

Movies on mobile are played fullscreen using the Handheld class.
