How to enhance the Movie texture Performance on Hololens
Hi , I am able to play a 320p to 720p resolution mp4 files on hololens holograms using movie texture.But i have noticed that the video performance is not good (shows frame loss while playing) without affecting the audio quality.
Please suggest some enhancement so that i can play the video without any performance issue.

@hexinnov,
In general, we have found movie textures to be very non-performant on HoloLens. A lot of our apps have had to remove them in order to run at 60 fps.
You might find this post helpful, which includes some Unity links that might help you achieve better perf.
FFMpeg/FFMpegInterop looks promising, but getting FFMpeg going isn't for the faint of heart. After that you'll still need a Unity plugin to make this happen.
I'm trying this out myself right now, and I'll let everyone know how this goes. My feelings certainly won't be hurt if someone tries this out as well.
And all that being said, a recurring theme of why unity doesn't have a better video player built in comes down to licensing. I am NOT an expert in this area, but I would be very careful to understand what video codec is being used to ensure that I had the right to use the codec in my application before distributing the application.
