(Solved)Loading external video files outside apk

Hi, I have been working on building video players that run on Android devices such as Oculus Go and a mobile.

I've been building my apks with the video wrapped inside it but it is beginning to be extremely inefficient on file storage. Are there any tips you guys could provide with referencing a video file that exist on an Android device?

I heard that when a video is loaded into a device, it undergoes compression and gets wrapped inside another object. So just simply creating a string with a directory address may not be sufficient.

 

I'll give this a boop.

Still chasing this problem for loading an external video file from an apk build.

 

Just updating on a solution I am using, for anyone looking for something similar:
