Can video textures play on imported static meshes?

I am trying to apply a video texture/material to a static mesh scoreboard screen that I imported as a .fbx as part of an arena project I am working on. I used the instructions previously provided here:

The mesh displays the background color of the video when the media player plays the video but does not actually play the video itself. I noticed this is not a problem however when the video texture/material is applied to a mesh in the shapes folder of the starter content.

Can video textures/materials not be played on imported static meshes?
