The root cause was a Linux video format compatibility error (LinuxVideoMedia format not supported) during the import process. The fix: move video files from the Resources folder to the StreamingAssets folder, bypassing the problematic transcoding step entirely. ## Content I've been banging my head against the wall for two days on this issue. I add a tutorial video to my game, and it works flawlessly in the editor, but in the steam beta build ? Nothing. No errors, just silence. I try some different stuff and come to find in the GitHub logs this line: ``` Start importing Assets/Resources/Video/Tutorial.mp4 using Guid(6fd8fed8fe7e3428c872dca246002a19) (VideoClipImporter) Error: Can't create LinuxVideoMedia, format 0 not supported ``` I uncheck transcoding from the video properties and still the same damn issue. I tried all the codecs and still nothing. What actually ended up working was: 🥁 moving it to StreamingAssets folder. Yep, that's it. That's the fix. Hope it helps someone! ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Why video codecs are a nightmare for game developers](https://daily.dev/posts/why-video-codecs-are-a-nightmare-for-game-developers-wuu4koejd) · Game Developer · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Issue \#323 - Unity Studio, Unity 6.4, AI, and more](https://daily.dev/posts/issue-323---unity-studio-unity-6-4-ai-and-more-4buphuzkk) · Game Dev Digest · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#game-development](https://daily.dev/tags/game-development), [#unity](https://daily.dev/tags/unity), [#github-actions](https://daily.dev/tags/github-actions) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/if-you-use-gameci-unity-builder-github-action-your-videos-might-get-stripped-out-of-the-build--7bo9tn2gw) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DiscussionForumPosting","mainEntityOfPage":"https://daily.dev/posts/if-you-use-gameci-unity-builder-github-action-your-videos-might-get-stripped-out-of-the-build--7bo9tn2gw","headline":"If you use gameci/unity-builder GitHub action, your videos might get stripped out of the build.","text":"A developer spent two days debugging a Unity video playback issue where tutorial videos worked in the editor but were silently stripped from Steam builds when using the gameci/unity-builder GitHub Action.
