2.X Planned Web browser is very limited in terms of which sites it can view

[vamX]

I get complaints about the web browser, as it's unable to go to many video sites (ahem). There are probably alternate, easy to integrate, or updated unity web browsers that work with more sites. It would be great to get this upgraded/fixed as it's strange to have so many non-functional sites. Let me know if you want me to suggest a web browser plugin for Unity, as I've done other projects with this in the past.

Yeah I am aware and this is not really a bug as it is a known limitation of the browser. The problem is mp4 codec licensing. I'm using a heavily modified older version of this asset in 1.X:

Embedded Browser | GUI Tools | Unity Asset Store

Use the Embedded Browser from Zen Fulcrum LLC on your next project. Find this GUI tool & more on the Unity Asset Store.

assetstore.unity.com

I'm looking at some of the newer options for 2.X, like this one:

3D WebView for Windows and macOS (Web Browser) | GUI Tools | Unity Asset Store

Use the 3D WebView for Windows and macOS (Web Browser) from Vuplex on your next project. Find this GUI tool & more on the Unity Asset Store.

assetstore.unity.com

It has ability to enable the mp4 codecs. There is a note about it here:

Windows & macOS: How to enable MP4, H.264, or video streaming

A description of how to enable proprietary video codecs on Windows and macOS

support.vuplex.com

For the current 1.X, some might be interested in this:

Be great to get this working again. It seems to have stopped again. And no amount of tinkering will solve it :?

Or maybe there is an update ?
