    Hi,
    I have a simple videoplayer app, that needs to play back h265 mp4 videofiles that are very large, up to about 600GB. I can get it working on my desktop platforms but not on Android. It is stored on an external drive on Android which I am pointing the movieplayer to, as a test I have tried the same file but trimmed to about 500mb and that works. But a test file of 9GB was already to much to load.

    What steps can I take to get this working?

    android logcat gives me this warning:
    2022/02/02 11:49:30.532 4465 4500 Warn Unity AndroidVideoMedia: No tracks in /storage/622F5F9C4C71A481/Android/data/com.Designlab.AnotherviewPlayer/files/montesanto_h265_48native.mp4

    when I enter in the wrong filename it talks about openextractor trying to make it a local file. Does that mean that in reality the video file is being imported first before it can play back? Why cant it just play back from this local location via external drive?

    I have tried a large file that would normally fail in mp4 but after converting it to MKV it does work. So the problem seems to be in reading the .mp4 files

    Hi Robert!

    This may be a problem in the underlying Android libraries doing the media file reading (https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaExtractor, if you are curious).

    Each file format has its own implementation, so it's entirely plausible that the Android mp4 reader has different capabilities than the mkv. One thing that could be happening is that on 32-bits builds, something is going wrong with sizes getting beyond 4Gb. But if you're getting to the point where you get the "No tracks in ..." message, it's because from Unity's standpoint, the media file has opened successfully, but the backing Android implementation is unable to properly parse the content. Maybe there are other messages in the logcat prior to the one from Unity that could indicate what the problem is.

    The VideoPlayer is always playing from where the file resides. When the path is detected to not be a network URL, this message is just telling you that the file cannot be found on the device's filesystem.

    Hope this explains a bit more what is happening, and glad to see you have found a workaround!

    Hi Dominique,
    I was actually just posting on a different thread as I got this but not fatal
    2022/02/03 22:27:50.660 11561 11648 Error ACodec [OMX.amlogic.hevc.decoder.awesome] setPortMode on output to DynamicANWBuffer failed w/ err -2147483648

    and after several
    2022/02/03 22:27:51.005 11561 11582 Warn Unity AudioSampleProvider buffer overflow. 2000 sample frames discarded.

    in the end the video is stopped with a stop() using the tag, audiotrack. But thank you for giving more background those might be some leads I could look into

    to be honest it is not so much related to big files, I get the exact same list of errors with a small h264 mp4 file. But there is less chance for the video to freeze up as it is much shorter.

    Also tried other versions of Unity, perhaps there is one that is best that I should be using to build a video playback app?

    tried with an asset that uses exoplayer, this works (under same conditions) but now I noticed the raw image texture it uses is not 4k but something soft similar to hd. I have also seen this happen in the unity videoplayer component. Is this a bug?
