--------------------------------
Summary: Allow windows and windows phone apps to play audio
located relative to the app root
Key: CB-11941
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11941
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugin Media
Affects Versions: 2.4.0
Environment: windows and windows phone
Reporter: julian hill
Priority: Minor
I've had a look at the plugin code for windows and for the media source it
looks like you can specify a url, a 'file://' or a 'cdvFile://'.
The problem with the latter two is that they have to refer to either temp or
persistent storage; it's not possible to specify that you want the audio file
retrieving from a folder relative to the app root.
I've manually copied over my audio files to:
...\AppData\Local\Packages\my_app_name\LocalState
...and confirmed that they do play if I specify a path of:
''cdvfile://localhost/persistent/my_audio.mp3''
I've overriden the src/windows/MediaProxy.js code and hardcoded in various
different paths for "thisM.node.src = srcUri.absoluteCanonicalUri;"
I've tried:
thisM.node.src = "ms-appx:///audio/my_audio_file.mp3"
thisM.node.src = "ms-appx:///my_app_name/www/audio/my_audio_file.mp3"
thisM.node.src = "audio/my_audio_file.mp3"
The first two don't report any errors when trying to play but nothing is heard.
The last one converts the source to:
"ms-appx-web://my_app_name/www//audio/my_audio_file.mp3"
... and reports an invalid src error when attempting to play.
So, it looks like something in the C# code also need changing.
As a work around I'll have to (if possible) check if the media files exist in
the persistent folder and if not copy them over from the app audio folder.
Alternatively I could install the media files into the persistent folder when
the app is installed but I haven't found a way to do this yet.
Thanks
