Hello, thank you for the video. I followed your instructions, but the video, even though it starts, appears rotated and too zoomed in compared to the TV. I fixed the rotation by changing the rotationAngle, but I'm not sure how to handle the zoom.
Hi thanks for this very helpful. I've got it to work in Unreal 5 Early access, but have tried everything and it won't play the video in Unreal 5 Preview 1 - only the sound. Any ideas?
@@thelemoneater had the same haha, someone says that activating the Electra player plugin should make it work also with directx 12. (They said lumen works better with directx 12 ) didn't test it yet
If you can't understand, why your video doesn't want to be played in media player in UE5+, then try to enable electra plugin in Edit->Plugins, restart your project and try again
Thnx for sharing nice tutorial! And I have one question about some error in my project. I set a video source but it doesn't watch in media player and media material. but only sound is working. you know about this problem? (my video file codec is mp4 and I set a correct folder name and location in project file folder.)
This video I like quite well and explains it also quite simple, but no matter which video you take it lacks an interaction, eg with the help of a press E then he plays the video first and again E press he stops the video. For learning this video is really good, but I lack the reference to how you can realize something inGame. I think this can also be built in the Blueprint. But I lack such a YT movie, because I do not know how to do that, I'm rather a novice. Because it's totally annoying when the user constantly gets videos slapped around the ears. It should always be connected with an interaction. So that the user can decide for himself whether he plays the video.Everywhere only this part is explained. But that you can realize something like that with the Unreal Engine, I don't know how! It would be nice if you could make a TH-cam video about this.
I am planning on releasing a few videos on a full blown TV with volume controls, TV channels and turning the TV on and off very soon, so stick around if you want to see that. It's going to build on the new version of the video I linked in the description :-).
That sounds exciting in any case, exactly what I'm looking for. I taught myself most of it, but not everything, and my project is very important for my final exam. So it's a bit of a challenge. I will watch it, thank you for the prompt reply. 🤪@@InsertNameHereGameDev
Went through the tutorial twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. My final result is - music plays fine but the video is showing only 4 pixels (2x2) that are stretched across the screen. The thumbnail of the material looks accurate as to what should be displayed. I've looked over everything and can't find an issue... any suggestions? Edit: The video plays fine on any surface created in the unreal editor/not in a BP. The TV I modeled was imported from Fusion 360.
I had a problem like this and I had to go to the material, input a texture coordinate into the UVs of the texture sample and edit the coordinates. Hope this helps if you're still struggling.
Thanks for your tutorial o how to add video in UE. I am attempting to add video to pre-existing geometry. The results vary. Sometimes on a cube it will play my video on all sides. On walls, sometimes it will be on the opposite wall side. Sometimes I'm just getting a black screen. What is the criteria to add a video?
Thank you so much for the video! Any idea how you can allow players to upload videos or images into objects when online? I‘d love to find a clue where to look for more answers. =)
Just gave up. No matter what I do, it does not show video. :( It will be actually fun to set scene so that on TV plays some boring video material, but when actor approaches (on overlap trigger) that TV, it plays for example 'Breaking News' with the content related to the game. Something like: "Something bad happening in our town, alien invasion..." or similar.
Hi, it was very helpfull, I would like to know if is it possible to create a real time interaction to load the video from the pc or a youtube link directly in the executable
At 6:35 I am unable to set static mesh to TV (I have the same name on this cube). What might be the problem? EDIT: BTW, I have actually nothing there. I see you have other meshes there, but mine is empty.
Wouldn't make more sense to put the Slider Max of the Scale Parameter Rotation to 360 instead of 1? Sure, you can use 0.25 to make it 90°, but it feels weird.
The intended max is 1. While you could do extra math to convert a 360 into a intended 1, I don't really see it as necessary because you can see the image rotate in real time with the material instance ;-).
Guys for those who are getting a black screen when they import/link their movie to the media player and it's .MOV or .MP4 or whatever, I don't know why cause I'm not an Unreal wizard but the internet told me to convert to .WEBM and that solved it for me.
hi thank you very much for this great video and don't worry you were great ;) i did try and everyting worked fine until the rendering i had two issues the first is that the movie on the screen is plying veryfast everything in the scene is moving normaly but the movie on the tv is playing much faster and the second issue is that the sound of the movie is not rendring with the scene ??!! when i click play everything works fine but when i render i have these two issues, if you have any idea how to fix this it will be very nice from you
Did not catch your name but great video. I am wanting to create a twitch live feed into my UE5 world. How would you go about that? I got so far to get the screen to show it but it asks for a login. How to get passed that?
very cool. is there a way you can have it off and make the video play when you get within a certain distance? or have like a piece of art on the wall and it switches to the video when you get in certain range of it or approach the art and click it?
Great video. But what I'm trying to do is display multiple short videos one after the other on the same screen. Is this even possible? Also how would you set up another TV screen next to the existing one, but displaying a different video? I've tried having more than 1 video media in the same project but can't figure out how to set them up independently.
Also, when my player switches on the TV, the screen and sound comes on. But when they turn off the TV, the sound stays on. How do you control the sound so it goes off with the TV screen? Thanks
i got this working on the default plane in unreal (i've only had some accidental distorted success with png texture on a imported model) can you elaborate on the the screen different material and how i can model that and import it please
Hey man, thank you for the tutorial! When I open up the mediaplayer and try to playback the video, it's buffering forever and doesn't play it back. What might be the issue here? It's a 50mb mp4 file 264 codec

Hello, thanks for your video. Even if I followed the video and installed H264 codec, the video does not play on the preview screen of the Media Player window, so why is that?

Man, great work explaining it so well. I was using exactly to get this feature going in my UE5 scene.
I was secretly hoping you would do the entire video on that little cube
Not going to lie, I was kind of considering putting it in the corner of the screen for the entire video while I talk on it ;-).
Awesome
thank you for the great tutorial!

Sorry for dumb question, but everything works awesomely!! :) I just wish I knew how to loop the video.. can't find how to do it. :(
When you open the media player in details under playback there will be a 3 checkboxes, one of them will say loop. If you tick that it should loop.

You could set a box collision to check for your players overlap, when it begins overlapping play the video and when it ends overlapping it stops it
You're a savier!
Is it possible to use youtube videos instead?

Yes. For some reason Unreal struggles with this, you can convert the file to a .WEBM format (online converter) and it will probably do the trick.
same problem, someone found solution?
