Expected Behavior

If I use the same video file (webm) for multiple sources with the "Preload Video to RAM" Feature, the RAM should only preload the file once.

Current Behavior

It seems like the video file is loaded new for each instance of stinger transition. Which overloads the RAM on Startup.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a Scene with 20+ Sources.
  2. Assign a stinger transition video file (always the same) to each source individually for "show" and "hide".
  3. Make sure the Preload Video to RAM is checked.
  4. Close OBS
  5. On Startup OBS should preload to much into the RAM.
Anything else we should know?
