unity打PC包在win7下不能播放mp4问题的解决方法

问题背景

unity 2019.4.18f1下使用videoplayer动态播放mp4视频，在win10环境下，不管是Editor，还是打包出来的PC包，均可正常播放。但在win7电脑上播放不出来。

解决过程

直觉上怀疑是解码问题。视频是策划用QQ录屏录制的mp4，先用MP4Box查看下视频信息。

# Track 2 Info - ID 2 - TimeScale 48000

其中可以看到视频参数是RFC6381 Codec Parameters: avc1.42C01E，不过并不是所有MP4都是这个参数，有的是RFC6381 Codec Parameters: mp4v.20.1。咱对这codec不熟，在微软官网上看到MP4好几个格式的要求也仅仅是win7：

事实也是如此，这些视频在win7上是可以播放的，比如用win7自带的Windows Media Player，但在unity里就不行，那说明应该不是系统本身不支持，而是unity的原因。
而后看到下面这篇文章：https://blog.csdn.net/EverNess010/article/details/80684724
其中提到将win7升级到sp1，经确认，测试使用的win7本来就是sp1，而上图也已经表明win7是支持MP4的，和系统无关。
将视频编码改为vp8呢？经过测试确实可行，不管在win10还是win7上均可播放。

于是，解决方法便是，写一个脚本来自动处理，导入MP4时将其编码改为vp8，如下所示：

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using System.IO;
public class AssetPostprocessorEx : AssetPostprocessor
{
    static void OnPostprocessAllAssets(string[] importedAssets, string[] deletedAssets, string[] movedAssets, string[] movedFromAssetPaths)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < movedAssets.Length; i++)
        {
            AssetDatabase.ImportAsset(movedAssets[i]);
        }
    }
    void OnPreprocessAsset()
    {
        var type = assetImporter.GetType();
        if (type == typeof(VideoClipImporter))
        {
            VideoClipImporter import = (VideoClipImporter)assetImporter;
            var setting = import.defaultTargetSettings;
            setting.enableTranscoding = true;
            setting.codec = UnityEditor.VideoCodec.VP8;
            import.defaultTargetSettings = setting;
        }
        else
        {
            // ... 处理其他类型资源
        }
    }
