Freeze/Crash on multiscreen via SMB (QUEST 2)

Hello. App crashes when I open the same file or different files on 4 screens via SMB.

It doesn't seem that slow SMB is the reason. Network traffic shows a 500megabit/s  transfer rate.

Two screens work ok. 3 screens - 3rd screen will freeze after some time. 4 screens - instant app close.

App v.0.4

File parameters:

Most likely it's just the Quest 2 running out of RAM. There's only 6GB (probably much less when taking into account the OS), and with 4 videos running at once, depending on the resolution and framerate, you can run out of resources pretty quickly. Fixing the crashes is on the to-do list. Maybe I can reduce the buffer size per video to reduce the memory consumption.
