I can’t get the media player to play a video in unreal 5 preview 1. I’m trying to make a TV for playback in my scene. It works if I use the film and video template, but not the others. I’ve switched all the same plugins on, but still no luck.

Update - it’s because I changed to Direct X12 so I could use the Pathtracer. Turned it back to Default and now video plays in the Media Player - took three days to figure this out!!
