How to continue with focus on the game?

Hi

I wrote a plugin for tizen that plays a video. The problem is that while the video is playing, it seems the Unity engine is paused so it won't listen to Invoke("method") or input touches or anything. Is there a way to keep the engine running and listening to input and invoke calls?

 

I had similar problem. I have native plugin for getting list of all apps on Tizen device. The function for getting that list is running for like 5-10s (for some reason) so Unity app is not responsive that same time. I have solve this issue by adding threads. I have one thread where I call code from native plugin. And then app works without any problem. I have use Thread Ninja from asset store. Maybe that can help you too.

 

it's a different issue. In my case I'm downloading things from the internet already on a different thread. As soon as I display any Tizen UI component, the game engine blocks. No update/fixedupdate gets called whatsoever until I close that UI component. So for instance if you want to display a progress bar of the download, unity is locked until the progress bar goes to 100 and I destroy it.
So displaying Tizen UI = locks game engine, all the threads. You can't even do SendMessage to it.

If you want to keep focus on Unity with playing video, you can use movie texture.
Attached project is using camera preview as texture on this post.
