Vuforia video playback fullscreen iOS

By redboot on Wed, 03/20/2013 - 09:55

This is my first post so excuse me if it's an obvious thing !

I'm using the Unity videoplayback  and it works great in AR mode. When I switch to fullscreen mode, it also works fine unless you let the video play to the very end at which point it seems to be stuck. The screen stays black and won't switch back to the camera.

Hi redboot,

This seems to be a known issue on the Unity / iOS side - though it seems to be more related to iOS6

Some have managed to roll their own solution as per this thread:

I ended up switching off the DoubleTap() method inside Vuforia and made a UIToolkit button to go to full screen mode instead. Made the call from the buttons controller instead and it works ! Video plays to the end and then back into AR mode.

Hello everyone,

I have faced the same problem than redboot. When I launch a video and wait for its end, it stops on a black screen and don't go back to my application.

Digging into the code, I have fixed the problem doing so :

I haven't had a chance to try it yet as I'm onto a different project but looking at it, it seems like it should be good on the iOS. We had similar issues but in reverse on Android devices. Once all the iOS code was stripped out for Android - it works. Worth looking out for.
