Installation

Import the asset into your Unity project, then use the Setup window to install any optional content or integrations.

Requirements#

• Unity 2021.3 LTS or later, including Unity 6.
• WebGL 2 is recommended and is Unity's default. A WebGL 1 texture-upload path is also included.
• WebGL sources must be URLs that the target browser can decode. Unity VideoClip assets are not supported by the WebGL backend; place local files in StreamingAssets or host them on a web server.

On non-WebGL platforms, the component uses Unity's VideoPlayer. Format and codec support therefore depends on the browser in a WebGL build and on the operating system's media stack elsewhere.

Import the asset#

1. In Unity, open Window → Package Manager → My Assets.
2. Select Proper Video Player WebGL, then download and import it.
3. The Setup window opens once after the first import. To open it later, select Tools → Proper Video Player → Setup.

No additional Unity package is required for progressive playback. HLS and DASH can use external streaming engines at runtime; see HLS & DASH Streaming. Continue with the Quick Start to configure a player.

Package contents#

Setup window#

Open Tools → Proper Video Player → Setup to manage the following optional items:

• Demo Content installs or removes the demo scene, example materials and shaders, scripts, and sample videos in Assets/StreamingAssets/ProperVideoPlayerWebGL/.
• Assembly Definitions installs runtime, editor, and UniTask integration asmdefs as a consistent set. Without them, the source compiles into Assembly-CSharp and Assembly-CSharp-Editor.
• UniTask Support enables the optional async extensions by adding the PVPW_UNITASK_SUPPORT scripting define. When the asmdefs and the UniTask package are both present, the integration can also be enabled automatically through the asmdef version definition. See UniTask Integration.
