Doesn't compile

[PetroRandy]

I added this plugin to an existing C++ UE4 project on 4.16.3. The C++ project compiles fine without the plugin. I added the plugin to the project's Plugin folder and remade the project files. With the plugin it's not picking up several header files - Cannot open include file: "IMediaTextureSample.h": No such file or directory.

Are these files that are supposed to be in your project or UE4 files? How do I resolve this? I have the UE4 source code and I don't see this header on my hard drive. A google search just returns one other media plugin. I don't see the header file in any Epic Games repositories. Thanks!

You have to pull the VlcMedia tag that corresponds to your version of UE4. If your UE4 version is 4.16.3 then you need to pull the 4.16 tag. You can also download the 4.16 release ZIP file.

Thanks! I'll give that a shot.

Using the 4.16 branch works. I grabbed this plugin as we want to play .webm VP9 encoded videos in Unreal and VLC supports it. Now that I have the plugin building, the plugin isn't opening that file extension nor is it playing a VP9 encoded .mp4. In the editor it's showing the plugin as enabled. I see that in VlcMediaFactoryModule.cpp that you're adding support for that extension here - SupportedFileExtensions.Add(TEXT("webm")); I verified in the debugger that breakpoint is hitting.

Do you have any guidance on how to proceed from here? Thanks!

I don't know if the 4.16 version supports your video format. Can you send me the video? Then I can try to repro it in 4.18. Thanks!

[gmpreussner]

Actually, please open a new issue for the file format problems, so I can close this one, thanks!

[PetroRandy]

Will do.
