Just to clarify a bit:

as ppreuss said, the video on texture only works on Android 4.0 (ICS) and above;

the reason for this is that on the Android side it requires the class SurfaceTexture and (on the OpenGL side) the GL_EXTERNAL_TEXTURE_OES extension;

theoretically, SurfaceTexture and GL_EXTERNAL_TEXTURE_OES have been introduced in Android 3.0 (Honeycomb), i.e. API level 11.

However, they practically work as of Android 4.0 (ICS), i.e. API level 14 and above.

So, for anything below ICS, the Video on texture will not work, as the APIs above is not available; in such a case, the VideoPlayback sample can still work in fullscreen mode, but not in textured mode.

What is the vuforia SDK you are talking about? I have imported the unity package..... and also the videoplayback package from asset store...what else is require? I am also getting the same error

Is there a tutorial or guide for this? I find myself finding answeres in different threads.

Hello,

Playing the video on texture is only available on Android 4.0 and later.

Thank you,

Hey Peter,

Thanks for sharing the sample, I'm able to build it on 4.0. When running this on Android 2.3.3, the video runs in full screen mode. 

Please guide me on overlaying the video on the tracker image for Android 2.3.+ devices as well.

Best regards,

Lucky

Hello,

You will need a device running Android ICS to see the video on target with our sample.

Thank you,

-Peter

Work great. Can I play the video rigth in the image targe, where they are, not in Full screen, can I do that?

Please also import the Vuforia SDK into your project that you have imported the Video tutorial into. This will correct the error and allow your application to run on your android device.

Thank you,

Unity error (Assets/Scripts/TrackableEventHandler.cs(23,38): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `ITrackableEventHandler' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

What should be?

Hello. Please see the Unity sample in my post to see how to display a video on the target in Unity.

Thank you,

Hi,

I'm still looking for an answer to this question. Please help.
I'm trying to do following:
public class OverlayVideoView {

private Activity home;
private View overlayView;
public OverlayVideoView(Activity home, View overlayView){
this.home = home;
this.overlayView = overlayView;

playVideo();
}

private void playVideo() {
VideoView videoHolder = new VideoView(home);

MarginLayoutParams mparam = new MarginLayoutParams(200, 200);
mparam.setMargins(200, 200, 0, 0);

LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(mparam);
home.addContentView(videoHolder, params);

// videoHolder.setLayoutParams(params);
// videoHolder.requestLayout();

videoHolder.setZOrderMediaOverlay(true);
videoHolder.setZOrderOnTop(true);

Uri video = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + home.getPackageName() + "/"
+ R.raw.royalstag);

videoHolder.setVideoURI(video);
videoHolder.start();

}

This adds a VideoView to the OverlayView. However, I'm not able to make the VideoView move as the image moves in the camera screen.

Please advise.

Best regards,
