Video input not being set as background Vuforia Unity

Vuforia SDK Version: 2017.1.0 - Description with steps to reproduce:

Hi Forum,

I'm relatively new to Unity and Vuforia and have been working on my first AR app, however I seem to have ran into some bumps in the road.

It seems the video input, when received either via webcam or via my Android device isn't being set as background, and so doesn't work as it should. When the webcam is used and is pointed toward an image target the position of the augmented object still updates in the Unity Editor but with no video feed in the scene staying as the in-editor camera background, whereas when it's complied to APK and transferred and installed there is no change to the positioning and still no video feed.

I also noticed the console in Unity shows this error message, indicating that the error originates from something in the Vuforia files possibly in Vuforia.BackgroundPlaneAbstractBehaviour.CreateAndSetVideoMesh ().

Let me know if you'd be able to help, I'm sure it's relatively simple.

Cheers, Oliver
