Support for UE4 4.25 ?

[levantail]

Hi,
is it in plans to update this plugin to support UE4 4.25 ?

Regards

Just open the .uplugin file and change the version of Unreal Engine to 4.25

Just open the .uplugin file and change the version of Unreal Engine to 4.25

While that gets the plugin to work to some degree, I've found it to be incredibly unstable and prone to crashing after ~10-15 seconds of playback on streaming video/.m3u8 files.

I don't know, I use it with MP4 and it seems to be stable, however I forked the repo and within a few days I make it completely compatible with 4.25 as others have asked me

For reference I see the following in my output before it crashes:

Just a quick update for our issue, it seems like VLC plugin crashes when a live stream VLC switches from its initial resolution to a higher resolution. Unfortunately it hard crashes with no stack. This also only happens when in a packaged build and not in the editor.

@Takabrycheri34, did you stumble upon a bug in which a video doesn't play at first and must be restarted? We can reproduce this issue all the time with MP4 files. It seems to be related to the VlcMedia: Error: mmdevice: cannot initialize COM error. Thanks!

@Takabrycheri34, did you stumble upon a bug in which a video doesn't play at first and must be restarted?

Honestly no, unfortunately I had little time in the last period and therefore I did not use the plugin very much, also I used it for direct streaming with OBS Studio and I never used files

I'm seeing the same crash after a few seconds with m3u8 in packaged build
