How to build for Android with large video files (Gradle error)?

[charlesingea]

Describe the issue I am trying to build a video player for Meta Quest 3 (Android). I have a video file in StreamingAssets that is 2.19 GB. Whenever I try to build to my headset, I get the following Gradle error:

A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.CompressAssetsWorkAction Required array size too large

How can I build for large video files?

Your Setup (please complete the following information):

• Unity version: 2022.3.46f1
• AVPro Video version (number and edition (trial/core/ultra/enterprise)): AVPro Video v3 - Ultra Edition
• Device model: Meta Quest 3
• Video specs (resolution, frame-rate, codec, file size): 8K side-by-side stereo, H265, 2.19 GB, 29.97 fps.

This is not an AVPro Video issue.

2.19GB is waaaaay to big to go in the Streaming Assets folder. I advise one of the following:

• Put the file locally on the device and point AVPro Video to it
• Stream the file off a server (you will want to ensure it has been encoded with faststart if you continue using an MP4, though HLS would be a better choice)
• Cache/Download the video from a server using AVPro Video (Ultra only) caching/downloading features
