Edit: see also my comment below
I followed the instructions in this tutorial:
I have an .avi video (also tried with .mp4). I can play the video on a static mesh plane in the editor. But i want to play this video full screen at the beginning of the game. But I just can’t get the video to play automatically. The screen I see remains black for the duration I set to, then the game starts. If i force the video to play by starting it in the media player manually, then I see it full screen. But it does not start automatically. I tried to debug it (hence the red dot in the printscreen below) but i don’t see anything wrong. My Media Player interface is different than the one in the tutorial, i have a playlist section, he does not have.
