Video player memory issues - can I get some info about memory management?

Only posting here because there is no information on the GDoc about this.

What are best practices with regard to memory management and the video player? How does it load videos into memory, and how does this differ between video types and between platforms?

Case in point: I have a simple video player test app with a video file in the project, linked using a member variable. Using the "Adam" video (36 MB mp4 file), the app functions as expected. Using our own test content, which works in the editor (a 237 MB h.264 m4v file), the app crashes on device due to a memory error.

In our case, I would like to know if using another technique to load the video (e.g. putting the video in the streaming folder and loading it via URL, maybe?) would cause the same memory problem. I can investigate this by trial and error on my own (and I intend to as I wait for a response), but this is the sort of information that absolutely needs to be in the documentation, and it'd be nice not to have to spin my wheels figuring it out.

And of course, if it's supposed to safely stream the video from disk and not load it into memory in full at all, then I've most certainly encountered a beta bug. But I have no idea if this is the expected behavior because, again, not in the documentation.

It'd also be nice if the VideoPlayer class itself could be aware that the video is going to cause a memory issue and report it as such (or not load the video) rather than just waiting for the OS to crash the app.

 

Update: Putting the video into StreamingAssets did solve the memory issue, for anyone looking into this in the future.
