You can either convert your video to OGG and play with unity's built in player, use the example that comes with the oculus sdk, or use a plugin from the asset store like EasyMovieTexture, AVFPro, or my own PopMovie (http://www.popmovie.xyz)
I've been trying to get this to work as well, and I think SoylentGraham's response might be not be 100% accurate. In my experience, Unity's built in player does not work on mobile platforms. I'm not sure about the other plugins mentioned, but it also seems that the oculus integration breaks the EasyMovieTexture plugin as well. I'm still working on using the examples from the SDK, but there are references that require older versions of unity or the Oculus Integration that I haven't quite figured out yet. I'm also new to Unity so, there's that :smile:
Indeed, Unity movie texture doesn't work on mobile, but there is no problem with Easy Movie Texture, it works perfectly with GearVR, I recently used it for a project. Also if you're interested, I just released a starter kit to make 360 VR player in Unity: http://u3d.as/s7e. It works with GearVR or others VR devices.

Sephis, I´m going to buy your starter kit. If I have any problem I hope you help me 🙂

I managed to play 360 videos in Unity using Easy Movie Texture. It perfectly wraps the sphere from inside.
However the videos look wide and squished like the aspect ratio is wrong. When I look at the poles of the sphere (bottom and up) and the stitching ends at behind, it looks like it properly matches those parts. Then I compare the same video on YouTube using Samsung Internet, the aspect ratio there is right in their player but when I look at the poles I can see some part is left out and the image is cringed.
I don't care much about the poles like the Samsung Internet player. But any ideas how can I get a true aspect ratio with Easy Movie Texture?

Easy Movie Texture does not do 360 stereoscopic movies. is there a solution for this?
