Android Question ExoPlayer not play local file...

[nicieri]

I can see the video player, but with duration 0, and if I select play in the player control, nothing happens. No message in log

Private Sub chooser_Result(Success As Boolean, Dir As String, FileName As String)
    If Success Then
        ProcessFileInfo(FileName, Dir, FileName)
    Else
        Log("File selection was cancelled or failed.")
    End If
End Sub

Sub ProcessFileInfo(uri As String, Dir As String, FileName As String)
    Dim mime As String = GetFileInfoByIndex("mime_type", uri)
    Dim fname As String = GetFileInfoByIndex("_display_name", uri)
    Dim size As String = GetFileInfoByIndex("_size", uri)
    Dim fileExtension As String = fname.SubString(fname.LastIndexOf(".") + 1).ToLowerCase
    Log(mime & " " & fname & " " & size & " " & fileExtension)
    If mime.ToLowerCase.Contains("video") Then
        Log("video")
        ePlayer.Prepare(ePlayer.CreateFileSource(Dir,FileName))   
        ColVideoPlayer1.Player=ePlayer
        ePlayer.Play   
    End If
.
.

Solution:

        Dim jo As JavaObject
        Dim cd As String = jo.InitializeStatic("anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.streams.File").GetField("ContentDir")
        Dim UriString As String = GetPathFromContentResult(FileName)       
        ePlayer.Prepare(ePlayer.CreateFileSource(cd,UriString))

This will sometimes work and sometimes won't work.

Don't assume that the resource returned from ContentChooser is an actual file.
Use MediaChooser: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...orm-videos-and-images-chooser.161093/#content
It will copy the video file to a temporary folder.
