Assign chunk IDs to video files (MP4) for packaging - possible?

Hello!

Is there a way to assign chunk IDs to MP4 video files?

For an Android build I would like to split up a big 10GB file into smaller chunks to fit them into OBBs with max. 4GB each.
But since content inside the Movies folder is not visible in the UE content browser, just putting multiple Primary Asset Labels as DataAssets with multiple IDs inside the Movies folder doesn’t seem to work. I also don’t see a way in the Asset Manager to target a media file directly. Defining an ID there for the File Media Source doesn’t seem to include the actual media file.

So I’m not sure how to target the actual .mp4 for creating multiple chunks from it. Is there a basic concept that I’m missing, or is it just not possible to put .mp4 files into chunks?

Thanks for your time,
Marc

Hi there,

I spent the entire day solving this issue. Eventually, I found that using “DefaultPakFileRules.ini” successfully assigns video files to chunk Paks.
