Play Video from byte array (mp4) in UWP

Question

Hi,

i am able to receive a byte array at runtime from a client, which represents a mp4 video. I now need to play this video. Is there a way, i can show it directly? Maybe with a MovieTexture?

I am working with Unity 5.5 c# and UWP.

Thanks in advance ;)

Thanks for you answer, but i just can play OGG video files. But i need to play mp4 files, or a way to convert it to OGG. Any Idea?

You can only play those natively on some platform (iOS, android) when you place them in Streaming Assets folder. For other platforms, when you import them in the Editor, Unity converts them "offline" for use at runtime. The easiest way would be to convert them to ogg on the server I believe.
