MP4 playback in Unity UWP
Hey,
does anyone know how i can play mp4 videos in a unity3d based UWP App? I recive the mp4 videos at runtime, so i can not import them beforehand.
There are some paid Asstets in the Asset Store, but i am looking for a free solution.
Any Idea?

I now ended up building in xaml mode and using the MediaElement.SetSource to show my videos, which are stored as a byte stream. It works so far. (but i think just on PC not in HoloLens, right?)
There is another Problem, but that is no part of this question.
But thanks for you help.5

I only know of the paid asset in the asset store. The only free way I know of would be to write your own native mp4 player that Unity could tie into via a UWP dll.

Thats would take way more time than we have, i think.
I am now thinking of a 2D-3D mix. With xaml it is possible to show videos on many formats. For now, i do not know how to mix them, and if the whole 3D-Posibilities are awailable.
Any Hints?
Is it possible to show the "3D world" and a xaml page at once? (also on PC)
Maybe check out Urhosharp? Personally I haven't used it but I have seen some cool demos.
As for formats... I'd check what formats are supported by MediaElement in UWP apps. This looks promising: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28394220/what-formats-does-the-mediaelement-support
