Setting Up Video Players | VRChat Udon Tutorial

[@alabaster_rox]

3 years down the line and this is still delivering the exact information I need. Marvelous. Exquisite. Delicious.

[@glowsharpie9076]

Thank god! Finally someone trying to fix all of these crap video players in vrchat! I will be waiting for that tutorial on how to add playlists and link bars in the future to add to my worlds. Thank you!!!

[@bobhawkey3783]

This is great. Thank you. Tried this yesterday and couldn't get it to work. Your video answers a lot of questions. Appreciate all your tutorials!

[@malinowskymartin7292]

Just got into watching your videos, I learned alot from the Mirror_Toggle you made in a previous one. You're consistently on top of the new stuff and you're doing great, also not sure if anyone else noticed but your mic pickup sounds low.

[@mcphersonsound]

@@VowganVR consider exporting your finished video's audio as a audio file and importing it into audacity. There you can increase the overall volume easily and then just export then import back into your video software.

[@GAMINGKNIBBSE]

First time creating a map and i wanted a tv in the map to chill and watch when in vr, i followed your steps and it all worked out thankyou @vowgan VR

[@vmpere2637]

Nice sponsor lmao love it, may actually look into it!

[@bloomingtails]

Thank you for the clarification about the AudioSources, I've been scratching my head around as why wouldn't it output to the second AudioSource...

[@lliamrankins2746]

Just to triple check, nothing has changed whit quest users not being able to see video players right?

[@swishchee]

Something to note: VRChat has different destinations that sound outputs to. Even though the VU meter in your windows sound mixer might show similar behavior, **VRC Unity Video Player and VRC AV Pro video player output sound to different "things" in Windows 10.** I wish I had a better description than that. I don't know the full explanation. I haven't been able to find a single unity expert who knows what's going on. I discovered it upon doing this tutorial. If I am using Bluetooth headphones, the 1st one in this tutorial (VRC unity) plays just fine through my headphones. If I am using the second method (AV Pro), then my headphones hear nothing whatsoever. In both cases, the VU meter for the VRChat application shows an identical bouncing green bar, as if the sound being outputted is identical. On paper, my headphones should be able to hear VRChat, but, in fact, they do not, in the specific case of using VRC Pro AV's scripts. I can hear everything else in VRChat though. But for some reason, the way the audio is split/mixed as it comes out of the VRChat application is messed up. The two sounds aren't as identical as the Windows 10 UI would like to have you believe.

[@The666VampireGirl]

super nice!! buttt... when i want to add new coponent i can't see "VRC Unity Video Player" so what do i do?

[@LevelXeven]

how can I make a Video player toggle using a Video file as a source?

[@a.fernandez00]

I want to create a karaoke on vrchat where each button is a song and when you press it it plays in a giant screen but I don't have any idea on how to do it help pls :C

[@littlenuni]

am so confused at 4:12 how did he add that why he going quick?..

[@reversebutcher]

Thanks so much! Really helpful. :)

[@JoinUniverseVR]

another awesome vid :)

[@NotTonicc]

Hey, I am trying to do this but there are no VRC AVPro components in my editor. How do I get them?

[@NotTonicc]

@@VowganVR Thanks, needed to upgrade from SDK2 to SDK3 and transfer everything over but it works now!

[@Memorie]

Can this work with mp4s instead of urls?

[@theonecommenter]

How could you make like say a movie theater And have a selection of movies for anyone to pick from Rather then a generic KZbin url player

[@shibuya9602]

hey i was thinking if you could cut the screen into half because i was thinking of making like a stage that have divided section and space with each other. do you understand what i mean? basically im trying to make a multiple screen but actually connected to each other in some way so on the right side will play the right side of the video and the left side will play the left side and middle one will play the middle one. you can look up into some concert stage setup if you still cant understand what im trying to say 😂. basically just that. it would be great if you could assist me. also sorry for my broken english and words

[@RainPie]

Whenever I put a youtube video link in, it says that it can't read the file. i did everything you said to do for the VRC Unity Video Player.

[@swishchee]

Unfortunately, I was unable to get this tutorial to work. I followed all the steps, but when I pressed "play" for the scene, unity crashed. I've rebuilt the scene multiple times using the instructions just to double check to see if I missed anything, but it just crashes. *edit* well, it works in VRChat just fine. Just doesn't work playing the scene within the editor. No idea why. *edit 2* further progress and I got the VRC AV Pro video to work, but not the audio. I've noticed that if VRC Pro Video Screen is placed on both screens while using shared material, video appears on neither screen. If it is only on one screen with shared material checked, then both screens show the video. It is still a mystery to me for why the audio isn't working, though. I've been watching this a few times and I'm hoping I find the step that I missed.

[@yukosato4626]

@L.T same issue with me!

[@kastawayblu9055]

When doing the quad option way on the screen I can not change the shader to the video/realtimeemmisivegamma it is stuck on defualt-material standard is that ok or what is the work around

[@swishchee]

Not sure if you solved this yet. You have to create a new material in the assets folder, then drag and drop the new material (in this case, he called it screen), to the quad you made. then you will be able to change it. Without that, it's kind of a default placeholder that needs a material asset occupying that space to actually define different parameters.

[@kastawayblu9055]

@@swishchee yes I finally fiddled around a bit and was able to solve it precisely the way you described. Thanks for taking the time to answer

[@Jackie97559]

@@swishchee thank you a lot, I had the same issue :D

[@biancayongyuth707]

Hi I tried doing this, but it could not play the URL I put. I just picked a random one from KZbin, but should I have used a video that I created or have downloaded instead?

[@efw431]

is this for quest to

[@Butterstuffs]

Hell yeah!

[@KujizaArurfaOkami]

Did you make a video showing how you made that video player? if so where i cant find it

[@ravenef5315]

So I have a ride that that has a avapro video player it’s hidden until it unhides it but it’s just a white screen until you play the animation again how do I make it preload when you join the world I’m also bad at explaining stuff the world is reavenge of the mummy ride

[@ravenef5315]

Is there a way to have the plane hidden and when you unhide it has the video play on wake and start at the beginning each time

[@friedrichquecksilber770]

nice. Please make a video on how to make a proper UI. i am using the Prefab right now. And please also include how to make the url input public. The current prefab can only be controlled by (TheOwner) or Master only. I am creating a underground club and i want all my freinds to be able to change the music. I am kinda new to Unity 1week and the Udon SDK3 seems so complicated.

[@Sujetsi]

The same component script won't load any youtube video for me. Not sure if I'm missing something or what.

[@otagaakuma4524]

He yo i hope you can help me,i just did it step by step but i allways get 2 errors: WindowsVideoMedia error 0xc00d36c4 while reading (url) and VideoPlayer cannot play url... and the AVPro version well...i got no errors but also no sounds any ideas what i can do about it

[@inshaneity2081]

please please please please please please do a video on how to set a video player for only quest i have been looking for a way to make a video player for quest like the one that is in the Kareoke world and don't know how to do it

[@Moeworks]

Nice work! Have you considered remaking your udon doors tutorial again yet? I've started from scratch a lot with learning udon and even though your video did deliver, I did have the issue of prepping the rest of the items, and I never could get an audio source to work properly for my animation. Regardless, thanks yet again!

[@StubbyPhillips]

How do I use a local video clip as a texture?

[@StubbyPhillips]

@@VowganVR So just let us upload a short clip or two!!! Geez...

[@StarSannu]

I'm fairly convinced the latest update broke VRChat Video Players to some degree. Every time I attempt to create my own video player I get an error message for every link saying that the byte stream type of the given URL is unsupported.

[@ubergammer00]

im having a similar issue. im following his exact process step by step and my end result is the video not playing

[@RainPie]

Same. I'm following everything too but it's so frustrating. Vrchat updates just keep breaking things more than fixing it.

[@wolfdash6911]

How to make the video player be pick up nd placed with a toggle

[@CarlCabralEntertainment]

Is is possible to play a local file? For example a .mp4 placed in the Unity library. I only see the option to play from a URL

[@CarlCabralEntertainment]

@@VowganVR Thx! It’s for a short series of animated banner ads, on a display(in my unity scene ofc). Ended up uploading the video to KZbin. Seems to work well with the VRC unity player It does not need to be synced. However I wouldn’t mind it, if it does not impact performance. Does the udon sync script impact performance? There will be at least one other synced video player in the world. Which leads to my next question… I want to keep the quality of the video by avoiding turning it into a GIF. There will be multiple players in the world. Can this cause problems?

[@beIIabunny]

how do you add multiple different ones?

[@stickinghabit]

Hey, does anybody know how I can add a "low pass filter" onto the AVPro player? It wont use it for me while testing, only the unity player allows it for me, but the unity player cant play livestreams.

[@MrSpiderLotus]

Very cool, ty! Do you know if it's possible to incorporate a video player into an avatar? Also, do you know if it's possible to stream live video onto a video player? I have a dream avatar I wanna make, but I'm not sure if VRChat supports that functionality.

[@jonathanreyes2487]

hi, i have the same project, were you able to add the video into your avatar? im working on adding the video chat into the avatar. thanks

[@HDSRosa]

can you show how to make the basic things for avatars-world with udon?

[@richanatario]

It seems this only works when I test build in Force Non-VR. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong?

[@Clinterpottrmus]

AVPro doesn't work in unity, you have to be in game

[@ThyYardleTart]

Is there a way so that other people can post links to videos and have them play on the video player?

[@bogUFO]

I would love to learn how to setup a multiple video player through clickable URL linked images in the world with Udon if that's possible with this update? Basically the same as you would find in movie worlds now.

[@connorwelborn]

Any chance you could do a video on how to sync videos between users for things like Karaoke worlds?

[@friedrichquecksilber770]

the Prefab UdonPlayer (AVpro) syncs music but only the "Master or Owner can change tracks wich is kind of a bummer)

[@rabbitpaaw]

Work this with twitch streams ?

I did everything right and it still dont work. I even tried prefab from VRchat content pack. Is the problem tahat Im using Quest platform?

can you do one for the creator companion pls

[@xedo8768]

the new udonsharp update log states that player collision support has been added, does that mean we can attach colliders to avatar bones on runtime now? before the update i couldn't find a way to accomplish this

[@xedo8768]

@@VowganVR already figured it out, apparently all i was missing the entire time was "VRCPlayerApi player = Networking.localPlayer" i feel so dumb for not knowing this.. xD And yeah you definitely gotta make a tutorial for this one cause interacting with your surroundings using your actual hands/feet can make vrchat worlds so much more immersive! i bet there are tons of other people who wanted to do realistic buttons etc but couldn't find a solution either.

@Siren's Whispers okay. Thank you

[@kaiman99919]

Thank you so much for this! Do you know how to create multiple separate video players? When I have both enabled, only one shows, and when I disable that one, the other one shows. I've tried having both as Render Texture and tried one as Render Texture, one as Material Override and nothing?

[@kaiman99919]

Ok wait so the website says I have to make the second video start 5 seconds after the first one, including for joining players? How can I do this? So "OnPlayerJoined" event. Is there a command for starting the video player? I can't drag the video player script into the node graph, and the only things I can find are VRCVideoPlayer and VRCVideoPlayer[] and it's labelled as BaseVRCVideoPlayer which is assume is the old video player?

[@neonfoxgamer-9738]

I don't hear any sound coming from the AVPro speakers, I'm not sure why since the unity one worked

[@swishchee]

I'm having the same problem. The unity one worked just fine as well. Did you ever find a solution to this?

Hey Vowgan, I wanted to ask you if it is possible to do the same thing with an Webbrowser. And if that's possible, can you put that or a similar solution on an avatar
