How do I download video on AppleTV
Hello everyone!
We are importing our application to the AppleTV platform. Our application contains ~700mb of videos, in the streaming assets folder, which are played with the Easy Movie Texture asset. For iOS and Android, final size of the application is ~800mb. The same goes for AppleTV. Debug version of the imported application works well, when installed directly from the xCode to AppleTV through cable. However, with size of ~800mb application cannot be uploaded to the AppleTV section of App Store.
I found out that size issues are resolved with the use of on-demand resources. The problem is, that on-demand resources functionality is based on asset bundles, which, for some reason, don't support video files (this thread and personal experience). Other considered option was to download videos directly to local storage. However, AppleTV seem to restrict direct access to the storage, and even more, permanently storing anything larger than 1mb on it.
So, the main question is - how do I download bunch of large videos on AppleTV for later use in application?
I have the same question. I have an app I want to do a tvOS version of, but I have a 1GB video file (in Strea$$anonymous$$g Assets folder). It sounds like I need to use Apple's On Demand Resources, which seems to mean I need to breakup the file (500$$anonymous$$B is largest a piece can be), but I can't figure out how to get On Demand Resources working with what would be in the Strea$$anonymous$$gAssets folder.
