Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If you are using a Filesystem on your external sd card with a 4 GB File size limit like FAT32, then you can't download any movies to it, as the file is almost always too big.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add an option in the settings to split movies into multiple files

Describe alternatives you've considered
None

Additional context
Formatting my sd card to exFAT (or any other filesystem without this limit) isn't an option for me, as I am sharing my sd card with my New Nintendo 3DS XL, which requires FAT32.

I will probably make a pull request myself, this issue is only to collect some feedback. (And I don't have time this week anyway)

If you found a solution to your problem it's best to share it.

That's so when someone else has the same problem as you he would be able to use the solution you found 🙂

I don't think it would be a suitable solution for most of the people, but ok.

I coded a software (not public yet, way too many bugs) which injects itself into Android (requires root permissions) and acts like a layer between my sd card and any android app that accesses it. This layer splits any file into multiple parts, if it's created in this folder: "Android/data/dev.jdtech.jellyfin/". Any android app will only see it as one file, but it is stored as multiple.
