Description

Describe your suggested feature

Hi,

my Device does only support Fat32 formatted external devices. Whenever I would like to download something which is bigger than 4GB the download stops after this limit. Please add an option to split up the file and start a new one. The filenames should like like this:

nameOfTheMovie.part1.mkv, nameOfTheMovie.part2.mkv

This way the get recognized by Kodi and can be played as one file

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by tracing the Android download path and how files are written, then identify where the FAT32 size limit can be handled. Done means downloads exceeding 4 GB are split into sequential .partN files that Kodi recognizes as one file.
