Hi,
in the same scene duplicated for Android tablet (Samsung S3) play a start movie copied on Movies dir but the Movie not started on Ipad Pro 10.5 last generation.
I tested withou succes on ios:

720p 30 fps
720p 60 fps

1024p 30 fps
1024p 60 fps

The settings are from Movie in Project setting/Movies.
The movie is the same mp4 with identical codec… Any idea why this behaviour that if confirmed is an important bug on IOS?

I have see on gameplayer.ini too as on https://answers.unrealengine.com/questions/372731/startup-movies-skipping-once-loading-has-finished.html
but without success!!!

Did you manage to fix this issue?

Just in case we both have the same issue in iOS and you’re using Bink Video plugin

I got mine fixed because it can’t find the video file.

Change the file BinkMoveStreamer.cpp in bool FBinkMovieStreamer::OpenNextMovie() starting in line 253

			FString CookPath = *BinkUE4CookOnTheFlyPath(FPaths::ConvertRelativePathToFull(BINKMOVIEPATH), *MoviePathTbl[i]);
			ExternalPath = PlatformFile.ConvertToAbsolutePathForExternalAppForRead(*FullMoviePath);
            FString SearchPath = ExternalPath;
            
#if PLATFORM_IOS
            SearchPath = CookPath;
#endif
            
			if (FPlatformFileManager::Get().GetPlatformFile().FileExists(*SearchPath))
