Video plays from Assetbundle in Cache Folder only on second play

Hello everyone, I have a problem. I packed an mp4 video into an Assetbundle, uploaded it to my site, and then i download it with LoadCacheOrDownload. It downloads it to the cache folder, but the problem is, that it's giving me a null reference exception on the LoadAssetAsync(only on the first play of the game). If I hit play again, the video works fine. Here is my code :

 public IEnumerator DownloadObject()
 {
     WWW www;

     if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.WindowsEditor)
     {
         www = WWW.LoadFromCacheOrDownload("myurl", 1);
     }
     yield return www;

     AssetBundle bundle = www.assetBundle;
     AssetBundleRequest request = bundle.LoadAssetAsync<VideoClip>("MyVideo.mp4"); // here it gives me the null reference exception

     yield return request;

     VideoClip VideoClip360 = request.asset as VideoClip; 

     VideoClip360 = Instantiate(VideoClip360) as VideoClip;
     myVideoPlayer = GameObject.Find("Player").GetComponent<VideoPlayer>();
     myVideoPlayer.clip = VideoClip360;
     myVideoPlayer.Prepare();

     while (!myVideoPlayer.isPrepared)

     {
         yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
     }
     if (myVideoPlayer.isPrepared)
     {
         myVideoPlayer.Play();
     }
 }

}

Any idea how to solve it ? Thanks
