android - Cordova video / audio won't play from cdvfile:// urls after update to 3.3.0

My Cordova app downloads audio files from a server and makes them available to play when the device is offline. This was all working fine until yesterday when I upgraded to the latest version.

Initially, neither the downloading (via the file transfer plugin) nor the playing (via the media plugin) would work. Looking into it further I found that fileSystem.root.fullPath now returns a path relative to the apps local web root folder, but it used to return a fully qualified path. Cordova now recommends using fileSystem.root.toURL() instead (http://cordova.apache.org/news/2014/02/10/plugins-release.html). This did indeed fix the file transfer issue.

However, using the new URL scheme doesn't work for audio files. When attempting to play the file I get an error saying "Cannot use audio file from resource 'cdvfile://localhost/persistent/path/to/file'".

Checking the Cordova issue tracker I found that someone has reported the same issue for video files as well (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6051).

It would seem that Cordova haven't updated the CDVSound plugin to handle the new file name format, but it might still work if I could get access to the fully qualified path as before. I have looked at the new code and docs but have not found a way to do this.

Has anyone managed to get a fully qualified path from the file plugin?

I got it working for video using the dev branches for file and file-transfer. They added a function to the Entry class called toNativeURL You need to download the zip files from the github projects:

https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer/tree/dev

https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/tree/dev

https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media/tree/dev

Then install them into you project:

cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.file-transfer
cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.file
cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.media

cordova plugin add <path_to_unzipped_dev_branch_of_file_plugin>
cordova plugin add <path_to_unzipped_dev_branch_of_file-transfer_plugin>
cordova plugin add <path_to_unzipped_dev_branch_of_media_plugin>

This is an example I got working:

                        videoNode.src = entry.toNativeURL();
                    },
                    function(error) {
                        console.log('download error source ' + error.source);
                        console.log('download error target ' + error.target);
                    }
                );
            }

            function fail(error) {
                console.log('Error creating file [' + error.name + ']: ' + error.message);
            }
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

If it works with video, it should definitely work with audio.
