MediaSource.CreateFromUri(…) cannot retrieve the file for MediaSource.












1















Here is my code........



public  MediaPlaybackItem GetMediaPlaybackItemFromPath(string path)
{
//StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(path);
var source = MediaSource.CreateFromUri(new Uri(path));

return new MediaPlaybackItem(source);
}


If I use this method I cannot play music. But if I try this I can play music.



public async Task<MediaPlaybackItem> GetMediaPlaybackItemFromPathAsync(string path)
{
StorageFile file = await StorageFile.GetFileFromPathAsync(path);
var source = MediaSource.CreateFromStorageFile(file);

return new MediaPlaybackItem(source);
}


Whats the problem with this? I am using mediaplaybacklist for MediaPlayer.Source . How can I get proper MediaSource using my first method? Help me please.

          You could not pass file path parameter to CreateFromUri directly. In general, the Uri parameter is http protocol address such as http://www.testvideo.com/forkvideo/test.mp4. But we could pass the file path with uwp file access uri scheme.



          For example:



          Media file stored in the installation folder.



          ms-appx:///



          Local folder.



          ms-appdata:///local/



          Temporary folder.



          ms-appdata:///temp/



          For more you could refer this document.

          • There a lot of limit in uwp, if your file was not stored in the above location, and the better way is use CreateFromStorageFile.
