According to this thread, startup movie support exists in 4.7.
Our team is also waiting on mobile movie playback. So far we have hitchiked on the startup movie functionality on PC and hope we can use it on mobile in 4.7.
Hi Showster!
loading movies and startup movies are working, but I’m not sure about movie playback on umg…
I’ve tried with widget and all work correctly but I haven’t tried video… can you show what you have done?
Hi ,
Bad news, I’ve tried but seems it’s not working when deploying on Android…
I hope someone will see this thread and post a solution, I’m sorry I can’t help you right now.
I did some testing for 4.7.2 on various android devices.
Dynamic Shadows now work correctly with baked lighting on android devices, but they are very costly. It’s almost as costly as running the game on OpenGL ES3.1. I am going to change some values on device profile, see if I can get a better performance.
Android Startup Movie using (mp4) will work fine on Nexus 7, but on Shield Tablet you can only hear the movie’s sound, and you get a black screen.
Android Movie Playback aside from startup movie doesn’t work on any android device as other people also mentioned on this post.
RCaloca thanks for your response, I hope Epic will resolve these issues soon! I will go ahead and create AnswerHub ticket for Android Movie playback. but in the mean time, if you can talk to the internal team, and give us any feedback, it would be great
Thanks Highbury, I will look into it then and see if we also have bad performance. I don’t expect good performance for shadows on mobile to be honest, but it would be nice to have.
