Does anyone have extensive experience working with the UE5 Web Browser plugin? I’m trying to create a simple interface wrapper for several different “metaverse” platforms that all run in a browser.
Essentially I’m building a UI that allows for switching between, and gameplay within, several predetermined websites using a game controller. This is for an installation at a trade show so just using chrome is not ideal. I’m trying to build a polished user interface so people can play in these metaverse worlds with a game controller on a large LED video wall.
It should be simple, however I’m running up against the limits of the UE5 Web Browser plugin. The documentation for the plugin is minimal and debugging a web page using browser devTools does not seem possible based on other forum posts.
I am able to run the CryptoVoxels and Mona browser-based game worlds in the UE5.0.2 web browser widget (They will not run in UE4.27.2). However, I am unable to run Decentraland which is most critical for my project.
It loads for a moment and then I get the following message: “HTTP Live Streaming is not supported in your browser”
I’ve tried this using UE5 on windows and on mac in case there was a meaningful difference in the browser widget, but I get the same result on both platforms.
I’m looking for more detailed documentation on what the UE5 web browser plugin supports and does not support specifically as well as a way to debug the webpage when it’s running so I can actually see what’s happening. That or anyone who has experience working with this plugin and might be able to help me troubleshoot.
