DLC + videos?

We are trying to create a mobile app that has multiple videos that need to be placed into DLC files.

We have tried adding them using chunking and we have tried added them as plugin DLC.

All previous forum post around this topic seem to have never been answered. Can anyone help provide guidance on a solution here? @Chris_Babcock maybe?

CRASH OCCURS The crash seems related to the Bink texture. The moment the texture is given a URL of a bink video, unreal crashes. With an ex…

Would love an update or at least some kind of confirmation on dealing with video in Unreal.

Don’t suppose you were ever able to come up with a solution? I am in a similar situation where I need to deliver videos as DLC

I have tested this way on major 4 platforms and all runs well
