The MeshMovie node enables you to manage video display over a 4-vertex mesh. It supports theora files (.ogg, .ogv) and Spout-received channels.
Due to their peculiar nature, MeshMovie items cannot be picked by PickSensor and therefore, they are not selectable in XR Studio from the Viewport.
Note: The mesh shader must be set to MovieScreen to support movie visualization.
