Help with playing a local mp3

[hidara2000]

Hi,
I have this web app that I'm playing with and can:

• stream an mp3 from a url
• Show an image from the assets folder

However, I can't seem to figure out how to play a local mp3 in the assets folder. The following code shows the image from the assets folder but I hear no audio. If replace the path with a web url all works perfectly.

any help would be appreciated :)

import flet as ft


def main(page: ft.Page):
    audio1 = ft.Audio("sample.mp3", autoplay=True)
    page.overlay.append(audio1)
    page.add(
        ft.Text("This is an app with background audio."),
        ft.ElevatedButton("Stop playing", on_click=lambda _: audio1.pause()),
        ft.ElevatedButton("Start playing", on_click=lambda _: audio1.play()),
        ft.Image("icon.png"),
    )


ft.app(target=main, view=ft.AppView.WEB_BROWSER, port=8550, assets_dir="assets")

I go through the doc https://flet.dev/docs/controls/audio/#src and https://flet.dev/docs/controls/image#src.

Maybe you should prefix the filename with a /. Change ft.Audio("sample.mp3", autoplay=True) to ft.Audio("/sample.mp3", autoplay=True).

Cheers but tried both and no luck. Replaced the audio widget with a Video one and have no problems playing a local mp4

Can you share the file you are using? It might be damaged or not have the correct extension,
On my end, I added this audio file into my assets, then tried and it worked... (both with the leading / and without).

appreciated. I downloaded the MP3 above and saved it to the asset directory. Still no sound but at the same time can play directly from the web url.

This is a bit strange. Sometimes it works out of the blue. I'm using Edge on both Android and Windows and the docs say that autoplay doesn't work. I took this as meaning that I have to manually click a button to start it.
I'm thinking:

• Since it's not working on both Windows and Android the problem is either with Edge but probably not plugins or antivirus.
• When I first start it in Edge it gives me the option to download as a web app. When I do this and run the web app it works as expected.

Stumped!
