#when making my menu I want to be able to use a video instead of a image
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
I would actually advise against doing this
A video is a fixed resolution, and so you'll have to make trade-offs for those who are running at a different aspect ratio.
Got a 16:9 video? Great, it'll be cropped for people with 4:3 monitors - and it'll have to be absurdly stretched for those with ultrawide monitors
see I tried to add a videop player
but it wont even play the video
the play button is greyed out
and the video dosent play
Does it have to be a video or can it be an apng or gif?
I just want something that can loop in the background of my menu
Use a Gif then.

Without getting into C++ there is as far as I know not a well solution to this.
One thing that you could do is to load a media player, get a rendertexture and display it in the UI
But this would rather be a workaround
thats what I tried, but media player wont load
Well look up how to use a video player, it works for anyone else, so you might have done something wrong
well the thing is every tut shows the video player playing the video
it just wont play it
how would I use this?
Have you tried importing a gif
yea I get an error
And also this doesn't help me at all.
Lookup how to add a plugin then
i added it tho
Well apparently not correctly
any other suggsetion?
it wasnt me it was the video
