Playing directly large video files in Knowledge Management
It is generally not recommended to store large video files which are going to be accessed by many users directly in the Portal, when you play the file directly you have to encounter a problem as shown in below screenshot.
When you play huge file directly from portal it will lead to severe performance degradation in the overall portal.It is a much better idea to have such content stored on a dedicated streaming server and provide external links to this from KM in portal.
Clearing the CM Cache as per the note 1014039 is the only activity from KM side which may help sometimes.
To upload the large files in lower version of portal you can follow the below KBA:
