Question
Hello,
I’m encountering a persistent issue with WebM video playback in Godot Engine 4.4 on Windows 11.
Problem Description:
I have a WebM video file named scene01.webm
.
This file plays perfectly fine in VLC Media Player (both video and audio are clear).
However, when I try to use it in Godot, the file does not appear in the FileSystem dock at all.
Steps I’ve taken:
- File Placement: I confirmed the exact Godot project root folder using “Open in File Manager” from the Godot Project Manager. I then manually copied
scene01.webm
directly into theres://videos/
folder within my project (e.g.,D:/game/gugu's makalong /videos/scene01.webm
). I did NOT drag-and-drop it directly into the Godot editor. - Godot Editor Refresh: After copying, I launched Godot Editor (as administrator) and clicked the “Refresh” button in the FileSystem dock. The file still doesn’t appear.
- System Resources: I have successfully freed up C drive space to 28GB (from original 15.9GB/5GB) by uninstalling Unity and emptying the Recycle Bin. So, disk space should no longer be an issue.
- Software & Environment:
- Godot Version: 4.4.1-stable_win64 (This should be filled in the format
Godot_v4.4.1-stable_win64
but withoutGodot_v
if the template just wants the version number) - Operating System: Windows 11
- WebM Source: Exported from Shotcut (or HandBrake if you used it - please specify)
- WebM Codecs (as seen in Shotcut/HandBrake settings or file info): VP9 Video, Opus Audio
- Confirmed VLC Playback: Yes, plays perfectly.
- Godot Version: 4.4.1-stable_win64 (This should be filled in the format
- Troubleshooting Attempts:
- Restarted computer multiple times.
- Ran Godot Editor as administrator.
Expected Behavior:
The scene01.webm
file should appear in the Godot FileSystem dock and be playable via a VideoStreamPlayer node.
Question:
What could be preventing Godot from recognizing or playing this WebM file, given that it works perfectly in VLC and system resources are now adequate?
Thank you for your help!
