Firefox 92.1.1 video texture renders black on Android

Questions
1

This worked fine on older FireFox. The video is triggered properly, the video plane changes color slightly and the sound is present. Seems like a codec issue or device issue (Huawei Mate Lite 20). The code snippet to run video is this (works for all other browsers on all platforms [PC/Mac/Android/iOS]):

public PlayVideoCurr() : void{
this.mVideoTexture.video.load();
var playPromise = this.mVideoTexture.video.play();
if (playPromise !== undefined) {
playPromise.then(_ => {
this.mMeshPlayButton.isVisible = false;
})
.catch(error => {
if (this.mVideoTexture.video.paused)
this.mMeshPlayButton.isVisible = true;
else
this.mMeshPlayButton.isVisible = false;
});
}
}

No errors reported when remote debugging via USB. Unfortunately no time to repro this right now, maybe someone observed similar behaviour?

You should open a ticket on the mozilla bug tracker as it definitely seems to be coming from their side (knowing other browsers are all good and the color is changing slightly)

@sebavan most probably your right, since the deadline is tight and this community response rate is top-notch, I am fishing here :slight_smile: The client did not observe this issue, but it pains.

I totally understand and would be happy to have a workaround for you but unfortunately I can not think of anything. Maybe somebody else ran into the same and found a magic workaround ?
