Research direction

The issue names no repository files or tests. Start by reproducing cached mp4 and .ts playback on iOS, comparing cached and uncached files, then inspect the cache manager and VideoPlayer integration to identify whether the failure is caused by caching or iOS configuration; done means cached videos play successfully on iOS or the required limitation is documented.
