How to create an Android Build which contains a 10GB video File? (Oculus Quest)

Hi Elias,

Thanks for you reply.

One solution to overcome the 4 GiB limit on OBB files in Android is to split the video file into smaller chunks and package each chunk as a separate OBB file. You can use the chunk creation feature in Unreal Engine to create multiple OBB files for the video. This will ensure that the video file is correctly installed with the .apk on the device.

This is exactly what I was trying to do with the options that I described above. However it doesn’t seem to work. Is there a trick other then enabling chunk creation, large-, patch- and overflow OBB files?

Another option is to store the video file in a separate “Movies” folder outside of the OBB file, similar to how it’s done with Windows builds. This way, you can maintain the video quality without having to compress it further.

Is there a dedicated option for that? If I just exclude the video file from the build and manually create a Movies folder (UE doesn’t seem to do create a Movies folder with Android build if I’m not mistaken), I don’t see a way to tell the installer to fetch that file during installation.

Edit: Another thing that hit me, would be to use something similar to an iFrame to stream the video from a server or website.

Streaming the file massively reduces the quality too much unfortunately.

The application works flawlessly on the device with UE’s launch option - I hope there is a way to also make it package with the large file.
