Hi,

I have a video texture, no sound, that I want to play when I press a button. I added the VideoControls component to the GLTF object which contains the video material, and I tried to add a listener for ecs.events.VIDEO\_CAN\_PLAY\_THROUGH to the GLTF object , but the listener never triggers.

Nevermind, I got it working by using a simple plane.
