What's the name of the video file you're trying to inject?
Looking at the code, the replacement file should be named like the .VID original, but with .mp4 extension

New video player upgraded in September may have obsoleted .ogv support

hmm, might be...

but it appears it tryes something with ogv here... no idea... :)

// Seek from loose files
string path = Path.Combine(moviePath, name + ".ogv");
string path = Path.Combine(moviePath, name + ".mp4");
if (File.Exists(path))

I confirm you need mp4 files. Ogv was used with the old way to play videos, which has been deprecated in recent Unity versions. For future references, documentation for the modding system is always at /projects/daggerfall-unity/modding/. ;)
Like the other bug report, this can be marked with [NOT A BUG] and moved to Resolved section.

I quickly converted Rhymer movies to MP4 format using ffmpeg (zero tweaking, just ffmpeg -i inputfile outputfile.mp4):

But they don't show up in-game for me, just clickable black screens...

Hmm, let me test those files on Win 7... yes, it works. And it plays more smoothly than with the old versions.

Thank you :)
