I am trying to load and play a local video file in the browser. Since my files can be large (gigas of them bytes), I would rather not use File.toUrl and rather use the URL.createObjectURL api of the browser. However, I can't send File objects through ports. Any better way to do that?
Edit: Bytes is also not transferable across ports.
