Are your source videos located in your “content/movies” folder?
On mobile they have to be there, otherwise they are not packed in the final game…

In your picture of the level BP you just load the video into the player, unless you have not set the source to play on open the video will not start.

9

Have you checked the box “play on open” in the media player asset?
Also just for testing: just unplug the other two media player nodes so you are just working with one.

10

hm thats weird.
Can you set up a basic level with just the media player and check this out? Just to make sure that it isn’t the movie? Maybe try a mp4 movie instead of a wmv

Here, everything is so smooth :frowning:

oh lol, do I need to tick the save playlist?

13

u can see in my folder have a mp4 format, I tried mp4 first and I saw not work and I convert and try wmv and still fail… :frowning:

Thank you so much for this, creating “Movies” folder and moving my video to it did the trick for me!
It was so frustrating because as you said this step is only needed when packaging for Mobile.
