This issue still persists on newest Steam stable and beta system builds with proton compatibility later 7 and experimental. Videos in vr chat don’t load at all.

Have you tested both unity and AVPro?

Some of the video players in worlds give a choice between the two.

Definitely a lot of places for trouble, especially with the URL handler.
