We really need to figure out a better way to share large video files (Movies - 3GB) on Nostr.
Video formats don't offer multiple resolutions inside of them, so if you start downloading a 3GB movie and the phone switches to Mobile data, there is no way to find a lower resolution stream inside the same file.
Switching multiple resolutions over the course of a single playback base on mobile speeds should be as natural as YouTube does.
