Using scripting to control video playback on scene textures

While the last recipe demonstrated how we can plan videos using the Video Player component that's set up at design time, much more is possible when controlling video playback through scripting.

In this recipe, we'll using scripting to play/pause the playback of a video rendered onto a 3D cube:

Getting ready

If you need a video file to follow this recipe, please use the videoTexture.mov file included in the 13_01 folder.

How to do it...

To use scripting to control video playback, follow these steps:

1. Import the provided videoTexture.mov file.
2. Create a 3D cube by choosing menu: Create | 3D | Cube.

3. Create a C# script class named PlayPauseMainTexture, and attach an instance object as a component to your 3D cube GameObject:

using UnityEngine;
     using UnityEngine.Video;

     [RequireComponent(typeof(VideoPlayer))]
     [RequireComponent(typeof(AudioSource))]

     public class PlayPauseMainTexture : MonoBehaviour {
