Oculus Quest / Unreal 4 Media Player Material and /or Sequence Material
Has anyone had any luck getting a Media Player Material and/or a Sequence Material to work in the Oculus Quest? When I launch to the Quest all my materials show up except for the Media Player materia...
Hi, I've just spent half my day on this and seem to have it working well.
Firstly I followed this tutorial:
Youtube - "How To Add 360 Video To Your Oculus Quest Using UE4" by Game Dev XR
Then I used Blender to make a sphere and flipped the normals.
Tip for the sphere: Rotation (0,0,180), Scale (-10,10,10) otherwise the video will be mirrored.
For optimisations, I followed the official Quest UE4 setup docs with the exception of changing Vulkan back to OpenGL ES3.1 (Project settings > Platforms > Android > Build )
Vulkan was giving me 17 FPS, OpenGL ES3.1 72 FPS
Another tip: Instead of using a delay before play
This calls an event when the source is opened then you trigger play.
