I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. Firstly, i am using Unity. I have about 120 chroma keyed videos with transparency placed on a Plane. I need to assign each a unique image target. Because of the amount i figure i have to go with cloud rec and pull the videos from a remote server. Is it possible to do this? I want only the desired video to load when the corresponding image target is recognized,since i would not want to load all 120. I am able to get the vids to work correctly when i set them up individually but how would i set this up for all 120. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Nothing that I am aware of.
We are considering the possibility to have a few more tutorials in the future, and this could topic be one of them, however there is no official plan for this at the moment.
Maybe the most useful article at the moment is the one about integrating CloudReco on top of the ImageTarget sample (this can be a good starting point also for those who are willing to integrate VideoPlayback with CloudReco):

Hi,
using Cloud Reco and pulling videos from a server is probably a good solution in this case.
Specifically, what you can do is:
- create a Cloud Database and populate it with your 120 image targets
- when uploading a target, also make sure to upload a metadata (a simple plain-text file) that contains the URL of the video that you want to play for that specific image target
- also, if you want to change the video URL at a later time (for a target which is already uploaded to the Cloud DB), you can still do it, by simply updating the target metadata (you can always update the metadata of an existing image target on your Cloud DB)
- then you can combine the videoplayback sample code with the CloudReco one, and play the videos from URL (note, we don't have a tutorial specifically for making the integration of CloudReco with VideoPlayback, but we have seen many developers doing it in our Forum, so it is certainyl doable)
I hope this helps.
