Can't load video from the persistentDataPath on Quest 2

Unity Engine

I need to display a very large 360 video on a VR application. I’ve already done the skybox and Render texture setup and its working fine but as the video file is too large the application does’nt buid. The solution I am trying is to load the video from the persistent data path using a script. Although the app is able to locate the video clip on the local storage, for some reason it’s not playing. Can somebody help me? The script I wrote is the following:

  [SerializeField]
  TextMeshPro text;

    [SerializeField]
    VideoPlayer player;

    private string path;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        path = Application.persistentDataPath;
        path = Application.persistentDataPath + "/JbRedimensioned.mp4";
        text.text = path;
        player.source = VideoSource.Url;
        player.url = path;

        if(player.clip != null)
        {
          string clip = player.clip.name;
          clip = clip + player.clip.length.ToString();
          text.text = clip;
          player.Prepare();
          player.waitForFirstFrame = true;
          if(player.isPrepared)
          {
            player.Play();
          }
        }else
        {
          path = path + "__ no clip";
          text.text = path;
        }
    }

Prepare is asynchronous. So it is totally possible that isPrepared is false. You should just call Play instead since Preparing just before Play is useless. You need to call Prepare at least 1-2 seconds before you call Play if you want to accelerate the opening.
