I have been working on putting music videos as backgrounds to my songs and they are all setup correctly, they work as intended, however they will only show the first time I play the song per booting of the game. So after finishing the song (either playing through or quitting) I need to reboot the game to repeat the song with the video. In place of the video, only a black background will show.

Like, once you play a song with the video
.. any other song with the video will show black screen or only that one you already played?

also, which version are you using
Couldn't repro this in editor on dev as of 49a98d3bc819d8b020bf3ded8b24af592ab47923

Sorry, here's a bit more information and a recording of it happening -
I'm running the latest nightly build (b3378)
https://youtu.be/lUDKxpqtydQ?si=WXsG4X2GGW8d6r2R
In the recording:
- I select a song with a video bg, Duality. The video plays as it should
- after quitting and restarting the song, the video no longer works
- another song that has a working video, The Running Free, also does not work
- the last example, One Last Breath, also with a working video, does not work
- I play a random song, Helena, without a video bg and the venue works as it should
- I go back to Duality to show the video bg is still not playing
It seems after one video is played, no other video will load up until the game is restarted

So I was trying to narrow down what could be causing this, and it only seems to be reproducable for me while using DirectX11 or DirectX12 API. If I use Vulkan or OpenGL then everything works fine as it should. But while using either DX, it repeats the bugged behavior every time.

Can you post a log file from a run where this happens? I can't repro on my machine (DX11/W11).
