How to reproduce a cached file?

[CKGrafico]

I'm trying to first download the audio file and then reproduce through the plugin but I've always the same error:
25-de8f578f-46a1-4694-8eb9-c6c3e0ae436d.mp3"}
⚡️ To Native -> Filesystem stat 39039670

⚡️ [error] - {"errorMessage":"There was an issue creating the audio player [1].","message":"There was an issue creating the audio player [1]."}

Is it possible, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, thanks for your help and the plugin

Edit if I direct use a url like https://app.blob.core.windows.net/aa-uploads/es-______-10d9ad8d05ec.mp3?sv=2024-11-04&st=2025-06-01T11%3A48%3A24Z&se=2025-06-02T11%3A53%3A24Z&sr=b&sp=r&sig=zRKq%2BNUnFHvr_____DCl9Curl25N5BQ%3D

Same error happens

Please provide a full code example.

That error is being thrown here.

[CKGrafico]

const fileInfo = await Filesystem.stat({
            path: FILE_NAME(songId),
            directory: Directory.Data,
          });

let formattedUri = fileUri.uri.startsWith("file://") ? fileUri.uri : `file://${fileUri.uri}`;


await NativeAudioPlayer.create({
          audioId,
          audioSource: formattedUri,
          friendlyTitle: song.title || "Unknown Title",
          artistName: song.description || "Unknown Artist",
          useForNotification: false, // Try disabling notification features
          isBackgroundMusic: true,
          loop: false,
          showSeekForward: true,
          showSeekBackward: true,
        });

this throws the error when formattedUri is like file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/41186412-A888-4.....-DB1A3974970B/Documents/songs/2025-de8f578f-46a1-4694-8eb9-c6c3e0ae436d.mp3

Is it because there is an extra / in file:///? There should only be two.

[CKGrafico]

that was just mistyping in the post sorry, the url is ok in code.
I've added a try catch before NativeAudioPlayer.Create but same error There was an issue creating the audio player [1].

[wsamoht]

Can you check the Logs in XCode? There might be an error from the iOS audio classes themselves. Possibly it cannot access the location of the file. I haven't tried using local files myself but someone else has said they've had success - #27 (comment)

[CKGrafico]

After debugging in Xcode looks like is throwing in
runtimeError String "An audio source with useForNotification = true must exist first."
what is represented in

if audioSources.count() == 0 && !audioSource.useForNotification {
                throw AudioPlayerError.runtimeError(
                    "An audio source with useForNotification = true must exist first."
                )
            }

I'll investigate

working now, thanks was only the config at the end, the urls where good :D
BTW my next problem is to start another song when the first finishes (like a playlist) but I think this will require a deep research, thanks for your time

[wsamoht]

The best way to start another song is to probably use changeAudioSource.

Unfortunately we don't yet support an actual playlist. If you create playlist like logic in your JS, you will run into issues of JS being paused when the app goes to the background and therefore the next song won't play until the app comes back to the foreground (when the JS becomes un-paused and continues to execute).

I am not aware of a Capacitor audio plugin that does support playlists, though I have never looked specifically for that.

I've not experienced any issues on android, just using audio end and then change source and keeping tracks playing in the background..

I'll do a proper test tomorrow but have left 3 or so tracks running without hanging.
