Problems with using WebBrowser plugin for Unreal Engine 4
I want to have web browser in game. Web browser widget works fine in the editor (using Oculus Link), but after launching it to Oculus Quest 2 web browser widget shows only black screen that i can't i...
Aparently oculus forbid access to urls in this way. You can access mp4 files and have them played. You can download jpeg files and have them as textures but you cant access sites or other internet files
I have seen Unity apps open in game web browsers in a few recent apps so maybe they have changed this? Hoepfully so as Im also looking to integrate the Unreal web widget in game. Hopefully it is just a bug that Epic needs to fix. The internal Oculus browser is based on same Chromium code that Unreal browser is so cant see what the issue is here.
It's not a quest issue. it's an unreal issue, so it doesn't matter what Unity can do.
Good to know, so now its just a question of when/if Epic get round to fixing it...
Which app can access the web browser within game? It allows the user to navigate freely across the internet?
The web browser of epic works on preview, so I really thinks its some kind of permission of Quest.
I tested accessing a mp4 from the web and it works, so its not an internet connection issue. Same goes for a jpeg. But in these 2 cases we are accessing a specific file format, not an html file.
The oculus browser does work, but I think they revoked this permission for their own app. Its possible, but they dont allow it inside a game. At least thats what I think.
