[Gear VR] Media Player works 50% of the time

Hey I’ve noticed a problem with the Media Player when building for the GearVR…I have a scene where you spawn into a lobby area and you can look at different boxes to load into a level with a giant sphere with a panoramic video on (using the media player)…however the first time you load into one of the levels the panoramic video plays fine but when you go back to the lobby area by using the touch button and go back into one of the panoramic levels there is just artifacting on the floor but the audio plays fine. If I go back to the main lobby again and go into the panoramic level for a 3rd time it works fine again but when I go back and into it again for the 4th time it doesn’t work again…etc

I’ve also noticed that if I build the apk with the GearVR plugin turned off and the GoogleVR plugin turned on the panoramic videos will play every time with no problems but the quality of the AA/resolution is worse (and I can’t seem to change that)

Thanks for any help.

Hello Antm4n,

Hey I’ve been messing around with it today and I’ve seemed to of fixed it.

My original setup was the default Unreal sphere with the material applied to it with the “Two Sided” option ticked. I exported the sphere, loaded it up in 3ds max and flipped the normals and reimported it. I unticked the two sided option on the material and replaced the sphere with the new one and everything seems to be working fine.
