360 video paused in portal for release 1.13

[YudizSumeet]

Video is a still image when I use latest version (1.13) of SDK while the same code works for previous version (1.0).

Uri parse = Uri.parse("file:///android_asset/video.mp4");
VideoTexture videoTexture = new VideoTexture(mViroView.getViroContext(), parse);
videoTexture.setLoop(true);
videoTexture.play();
portalScene.setBackgroundTexture(videoTexture);

The latest version of virocore is 1.13, please make sure to follow the upgrade instructions listed in the release notes -> https://virocore.viromedia.com/docs/releases

Hi @dam00n , thanks for the quick reply. First of all, apologies for the version error in my question. I actually meant 1.13 and not 1.3. I tried updating GVR version to 1.18 as mentioned in upgrade instructions and my app is already configured on API 28. I'm still facing the same issue. Here is a screen-recording and the code for better understanding of the issue. I use the same code to load video in both the scenarios.

Hi @YudizSumeet, thanks for reporting this. I've confirmed this is a bug and we will fix it in our next release.

Hi @YudizSumeet, we have fixed this bug and it will be included in Virocore 1.14 :)
