Windows Video Player Plugin (4K, 8K, HLS & DASH video)

Are you experiencing stuttering, frame drops, or poor performance with high-resolution video playback (4K, 8K, and 360° stereo) in Unreal Engine 5.5, 5.6, or 5.7 on Windows?

Do you struggle with high-bitrate 360° and 180° video, HLS/DASH adaptive streaming, spatial 3D audio, or achieving smooth performance under DirectX 12?

At HISPlayer, we built a dedicated high-performance Video Player plugin for Windows that uses fully hardware-accelerated decoding and rendering paths (DirectX 11 & DirectX 12). It delivers top-quality video playback of local MP4 files, adaptive HLS & DASH streaming, and maintains high frame rates for 360°, 180°, 3D stereoscopic, and standard video.

Play Local MP4 files, or stream HLS & DASH video inside your Unreal Windows games and applications with the highest quality and most advanced features available.
