I'm trying to play a video file from the streaming assets folder. Works fine on PC but just doesn't load on Android.

if (!fileName.EndsWith(".mp4")) fileName = fileName + ".mp4";

var url = "file://" + Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/" + fileName;

if !UNITY_EDITOR && UNITY_ANDROID
    url = "jar:" + url;
#endif

videoPlayer.url = url;
videoPlayer.Prepare();

I was wondering if I was missing a trick on getting the video URL and making it play?

Why don't you just use `Application.streamingAssetsPath` directly without any prefix? – Programmer Nov 15 '17 at 12:00
`var url = Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/" + fileName;` and then change `url = "jar:" + url;` to `url = "jar:file://" + url;` ? – James Lalor Nov 15 '17 at 12:02
That doesn't change the fact it won't play on Android, however. – James Lalor Nov 15 '17 at 12:02

For the Android replace `url = "jar:" + url;` with `url = Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/" + fileName;` – Programmer Nov 15 '17 at 12:04
