Poor Video Player Performance in Hololens
I am trying to play a video on 3D plane. When tried to view the video on Hololens the video fame rate is inconsistent and the audio is not proper. Using Unity Version 5.6.2f1.
I see similar issue in the link https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/hololens-in-hololens-video-player-performance-is-poor. But Still facing the same issue.
Any help or alternate solution please.

Can anyone please help?
Hey, I solved this problem by reducing the resolution of the video to 640 x 360. Anything higher than this causes the video to be choppy. See the full tutorial here: https://codeholo.com/2018/01/14/playing-videos-on-the-hololens-apps/
If you separate the audio from the video and not import the audio with your video file (I used .mp4) under your actual video file there is an option that says Import Audio. If you uncheck that box and bring in the audio separately as like a .mp3 file. Under your video player, under Audio Output mode you change it to Audio Source. Then once you do that add an audio source component with your .mp3 file and you're done.
If you're still having problems you can lower your video's bit rate under the Video Import Settings. However, that is the only thing I would mess with under the Transcoding section. I am able to run a 1280x720 video in HoloLens this way.
