MovieTexture is finally deprecated after Unity 5.6.0b1 release and new API that plays video on both Desktop and Mobile devices is now released.
VideoPlayer and VideoClip can be used to play video and retrieve texture for each frame if needed.
I've managed to get the video working but coduldn't get the audio to play as-well from the Editor on Windows 10. Anyone know why audio is not playing?

videoPlayer.SetTargetAudioSource(0, audioSource);
must be called before videoPlayer.Prepare(); not after it. This is took hours of experiment to find this this was the problem I was having.
Stuck at "Preparing Video"?
Wait 5 seconds after videoPlayer.Prepare(); is called then exit the while loop.
Replace:
while (!videoPlayer.isPrepared)
{
Debug.Log("Preparing Video");
yield return null;
}
with:
//Wait until video is prepared
WaitForSeconds waitTime = new WaitForSeconds(5);
while (!videoPlayer.isPrepared)
{
Debug.Log("Preparing Video");
//Prepare/Wait for 5 sceonds only
yield return waitTime;
//Break out of the while loop after 5 seconds wait
break;
}
This should work but you may experience buffering when the video starts playing. While using this temporary fix, my suggestion is to file for bug with the title of "videoPlayer.isPrepared always true" because this is a bug.
Some people also fixed it by changing:
videoPlayer.playOnAwake = false;
audioSource.playOnAwake = false;
to
videoPlayer.playOnAwake = true;
audioSource.playOnAwake = true;
Play Video From URL:
Replace:
//We want to play from video clip not from url
videoPlayer.source = VideoSource.VideoClip;
with:
//We want to play from url
videoPlayer.source = VideoSource.Url;
videoPlayer.url = "http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/videos/big_buck_bunny.mp4";
then Remove:
public VideoClip videoToPlay; and videoPlayer.clip = videoToPlay; as these are not needed anymore.
Play Video From StreamingAssets folder:
string url = "file://" + Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/" + "VideoName.mp4";
if !UNITY_EDITOR && UNITY_ANDROID
url = Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/" + "VideoName.mp4";
#endif
//We want to play from url

videoPlayer.url = url;

Similar to what the other answers have been saying. You could use callbacks for when preparing and end of video states. Rather than using coroutines and yield return.
videoPlayer.loopPointReached += EndReached;
videoPlayer.prepareCompleted += PrepareCompleted;
void PrepareCompleted(VideoPlayer vp) {
vp.Play();
}
void EndReached(VideoPlayer vp) {
// do something
}
I used #Programmer 's answer to play videos from a URL, but I couldn't get any sound to play. Eventually I found the answer in the comments of a YouTube tutorial.
To get the audio to play for a movie loaded via URL, you need to add the following line before the call to EnableAudioTrack:
videoPlayer.controlledAudioTrackCount = 1;
By now the VideoPlayer should be updated enough you don't need to write code to get to work correctly. Here are the settings I found to have the most desirable effect:
These settings are:
Video Player:
Play On Awake: True
Wait For First Frame: False
Audio Output Mode: None
Audio Source:
Play On Awake: True
Don't forget to have a VideoClip for the VideoPlayer and an AudioClip for the AudioSource. The file formats I found to work the best are .ogv for video and .wav for audio.

I am trying to find out if my device is recording audio correctly (Volume of recorded audio is not too low and actually the recorded file has sound). The way I tried doing it is:
start recording --> play sound --> stop recording --> get file recorded max volume
The code I used to record sound:
public void playSound() {
File myDataPath = new File(getActivity().getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath()
+ File.separator + ".CheckAudio");
if (!myDataPath.exists())
myDataPath.mkdirs();
recordFile = myDataPath + File.separator + "Recording_" + new SimpleDateFormat("yyyyMMdd_HHmmss", Locale.getDefault()).format(new Date()) + ".mp3";
am.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING, am.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_RING), 0);
am.setStreamVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION, am.getStreamMaxVolume(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION), 0);
Uri defaultRingtoneUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
try {
md = new MediaRecorder();
md.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
md.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
md.setOutputFile(recordFile);
md.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.AAC);
md.prepare();
md.start();
} catch (IllegalStateException | IOException e) {
recording = false;
removeItem("Unable to record audio, please try again."); // (Show toast)
return;
}
mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
try {
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(getActivity(), defaultRingtoneUri);
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_NOTIFICATION);
mediaPlayer.prepare();
mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
#Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
md.stop();
md.release();
mediaPlayer.release();
mediaPlayer = null;
// get recordfile volume
}
});
mediaPlayer.start();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
removeItem("Unable to play audio");
sound = false;
}
}
However, I can't find out how to analyze the mp3 file created and check if it is not empty (from sound), is there a library or another way?
I hope you guys understood what I am trying to achieve as my English is pretty bad, Thanks.
EDIT:(Some more explaination)
If you play sound (ringtone or something) while recording sound from microphone, the decibels recorded should be around 90 decibels. meaning the sound playing working and also the microphone, but if the decibels recorded around 30 means only microphone is working, and playing sound not, if the decibels are around zero then the microphone is not working.
You can use a visualiser to visualise real time if recording sound is getting too low or too loud.
I have build a project which visualise recording sound strength via bar graph . Higher the bar louder the recorded sound lower the bar low decibels .
This project also have inapp player which allow user to play all his recordings. The inbuilt player also visualise playback sound data.
I am suggesting this because I thought this is what you are trying to achieve in
start recording --> play sound --> stop recording --> get file recorded max volume.
Instead of getting max volume each time you can rely on visualiser to keep an eye on recorder if recording file is getting recorded above acceptable decibals.
You can find source code on github

I have video player, video is from url. It works- I can start and stop playing video. I would like to have a possibility to move progres in MediaController. I have set the MediaController, but it doesn't work. When I use a video from file i can seek/move the video progress, but with the video from url it doesn't work.
There is my code:
videoFrame = (FrameLayout) findViewById(R.id.videoField);
mediaController = new MediaController(VideoPage.this);
videoPlayer = new VideoView(context);
videoFrame.addView(videoPlayer);
videoPlayer.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(url));
mediaController.setMediaPlayer(videoPlayer);
videoPlayer.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoPlayer.requestFocus();
videoPlayer.start();
You have to check if you can seek forward:
if(videoPlayer.canSeekForward()){
...
}
and this is just possible, when you get a duration for the videostream, but some streams don't have a duration, for example if you stream tv content or a live stream.
int duration = videoPlayer.getDuration()
As I understand it, Android will only play AAC format audio if it's encoded as MPEG-4 or 3GPP.
I'm able to play AAC audio encoded as M4A when it's local to the app, but it fails when obtaining it from a server.
The following works, as the m4a file is held locally in the res/raw directory.
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.*file*);
mp.start();
The following doesn't work. (But does with MP3's).
Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://*example.com*/blah.m4a");
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, uri);
mp.start();
Can anyone shed any light on why it fails when the m4a audio file is not local?
Here's (some of) the error...
ERROR/PlayerDriver(542): Command PLAYER_INIT completed with an error or info UNKNOWN PVMFStatus
ERROR/MediaPlayer(769): error (200, -32)
WARN/PlayerDriver(542): PVMFInfoErrorHandlingComplete

...
I'm targeting SDK 1.6.
This work-around allows you to play M4A files from the net (and AAC files in other containers such as MP4 & 3GP). It simply downloads the file and plays from the cache.
private File mediaFile;
private void playAudio(String mediaUrl) {
try {
URLConnection cn = new URL(mediaUrl).openConnection();
InputStream is = cn.getInputStream();
// create file to store audio
mediaFile = new File(this.getCacheDir(),"mediafile");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(mediaFile);
byte buf[] = new byte[16 * 1024];
Log.i("FileOutputStream", "Download");
// write to file until complete
do {
int numread = is.read(buf);
if (numread <= 0)
break;
fos.write(buf, 0, numread);
} while (true);
fos.flush();
fos.close();
Log.i("FileOutputStream", "Saved");
MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();
// create listener to tidy up after playback complete
MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener listener = new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() {
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
// free up media player
mp.release();
Log.i("MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener", "MediaPlayer Released");
}
};
mp.setOnCompletionListener(listener);
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(mediaFile);
// set mediaplayer data source to file descriptor of input stream
mp.setDataSource(fis.getFD());
mp.prepare();
Log.i("MediaPlayer", "Start Player");
mp.start();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I tried it too but I could not find out the solution!
At the last Google I/O I saw something that helped me a lot. It is Extending from MediaPlayer and improve a lot of things! Take a look.
EXOPLAYER CAN HELP YOU A LOT
Check this part of the example:
private static final int BUFFER_SEGMENT_SIZE = 64 * 1024;
private static final int BUFFER_SEGMENT_COUNT = 256;
...
// String with the url of the radio you want to play
String url = getRadioUrl();

EXOPLAYER- I can play anything from streamings (video and audio)!
LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED HELP TO IMPLEMENT IT! :)
This is a wild shot in the dark, but I have seen similar behavior with the flash player where it actually ignores the file name and only relies on the MIME type sent by the server. Any idea what headers are being sent down from example.com? You might want to try wrapping your blah.m4a in a page that can set the headers and then stream the binary data. Give these types a shot and the community would appreciate a confirmation of what works:
audio/mpeg
audio/mp4a
audio/mp4a-latm
audio/aac
audio/x-aac
I found that if you record the audio file on Android with the following properties, you are then able to play it on your server. It also plays well in the HTML Audio Element, however only on Firefox at the moment. This may change in the future.
Android (JAVA):
mediaRecorder = new MediaRecorder();
mediaRecorder.setAudioSource(MediaRecorder.AudioSource.MIC);
mediaRecorder.setOutputFormat(MediaRecorder.OutputFormat.MPEG_4);
mediaRecorder.setAudioEncoder(MediaRecorder.AudioEncoder.HE_AAC);
mediaRecorder.setAudioSamplingRate(44100);
mediaRecorder.setAudioChannels(1);
mediaRecorder.setOutputFile(filePath);
HTML:
<audio id="audioMediaControl" controls src="yourfile.m4a"> Your browser does not support the audio element. </audio>
try --
1) MP.prepareAsync()
2) onPrepared() { mp.start() }
