Media Playback while in game

@gmpreussner;164263

For those of you who’d like to look at the demo map for media playback (which is probably all of you), please download the following zip file:

https://de45xmedrsdbp.cloudfront.net/Resources/files/ContentExamples_MediaTestContent_v4.5-143474767.zip

This is the latest version of the demo map and all required assets as of today. It is now called Media.umap, and it uses an MP4 file instead of an WMV file that should also work on MacOS. You can probably just unzip this into your project’s /Content/ directory.

This zip file is somewhat unofficial and didn’t run by QA, so please let me know if there are any problems! We will push this out officially for in the upcoming 4.5 content update patch. It will then be part of the ContentExamples sample project.

Hello gmpreussner,

Thanks for sharing this. However, I am using this with 4.6.1 engine version and I am not able to run this. I am pretty new to UE4 and hence I am not sure how to run this actually. Can you please let me know how this can be used?

I would like to do the following

1. Provide user selection of movies that can be played out while in game
2. Take user input and perform the operations like creating the texture to play the movie.
3. Play the user selected movie.

All this is required to be done in the game. Please do let me know if there is a way to do this from Blueprint or do I need to do this from C++? Some sample implementations would be very helpful. Thank you.
