Vuforia SDK Version: 1.5.9
- Description with steps to reproduce: I'm trying the video playback example of vuforia on unity 3.5.6f4 and when i touch the plane an hour glass clock appears, but then nothing happen the video was never played.
The hourglass issue exists on my Samsung Galaxy S with Android 2.3.3, but not on Android 4.0.4. The error occurs on my Xoom with Android 3.2 and not in Android 4.0.4. So it seems to be on Android 2.x and 3.x.
I use directly the video playback sample with the example videos.
- Development OS (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux): Mac OSX 10.8.2
- Mobile OS and Version: Android 2.3.3, Android 3.2
- Mobile Device Manufacturer and Model name: Samsung Galaxy S (I9000), Motorola Xoom (MZ601)
- Do the Vuforia Sample Applications show the same behavior?: vuforia-unity-videoplayback-android-ios-1-0-1.unitypackage

Hi Russel,
normally the video on texture is only supported on Android 4.0 (ICS) or above;
this is somehow consistent with the fact that it works on your device running Android 4.0.4.

Yes, I don't even get the fullscreen video. There is only the hourglass.

Hi, I had the chance to test the sample on the Samsung (exact same model as yours, except that it runs on Android 2.2 instead of 2.3, but that should not make any difference, as you simply have a more up-to-date version than I do);

I have followed all your tips. Nevertheless, I get it not to run. :(
Do you still have an Android 2.3 or 3.2 device?
The same setting in Unity 3.5.6f4 works with my Nexus 4 with Android 4.2. So it can not be in the settings.
Do you have any other tips?

Hi russel,
as far as the Samsung Galaxy S (I9000) is concerned, I don't have a lot more to suggest, as this has been tested already (and I also re-tested it) and we cannot reproduce the issue on that same model.

Hi Russel,
could you meanwhile PM me your APK, as built by Unity ?
I would then be able to test directly your APK against our devices here. That would be helpful. Thanks.

I have sent you a PM.

Hi Russel, I tested your APK and indeed it shows the problem you report on my Samsung Galaxy S as well;
on the other hand, the same VP sample built here in Unity does not show the problem.
I also extracted the APK content, and it looks pretty much the same.

Hi Russel, the AndroidManifest looks OK and identical to the reference one built over here.
The issue might be with the different Unity version or license, as the following function seems to be not working in your case:
Handheld.PlayFullScreenMovie

Movie Playback seems to be Pro only :(.

Yes, it's really unfortunate that Unity restricts this feature to Pro.
We also plan to document this issue in the Vuforia VP sample documentation.

This is a good idea.

It does not seem to work even with the Pro version.
Hi Russel, the link you point
Hi Russel,
the link you point to below (syreinrage's comment) is probably related to a slightly different problem (perhaps device-specific or video-format specific, to be assessed on that thread...);
