Current bug behaviour

My code is as follows:

Future<void> startPlayer(String filepath) async {
    try {
 // For ex, filepath is getApplicationDocumentsDirectory().path+"/file.aac"
      final DeviceFileSource source = DeviceFileSource(filepath); 
     
        await _player?.play(source);
        } catch (e) {
      throw SoundPlayerException(e.toString());
    }
  }

But it still throws the PlatformException(DarwinAudioError, AVPlayerItem.Status.failed on setSourceUrl, Failed to set source. For troubleshooting, see "

"https://github.com/bluefireteam/audioplayers/blob/main/troubleshooting.md). It works smoothly on Android. Not sure what is the exact issue. the same code was working fine earlier. I tried Flutter_soundas well. it is not able to play the audio file as well.

I have also copied the code from the demo/examples and tried to play the same file as well but no luck with both plugins.

If anyone has an idea, please guide me. I am clueless.

Currently works smoothly on Android but not on iOS

Expected behaviour

It should be working flawlessly on iOS as the same code works on Android

did you find the solution for this?? same issue here

Apr 16 '24 14:04 yogeshButani

same here on macOS 14.4.1, Flutter 3.19.6, Flame 1.17.0, Flame Audio 2.10.1

crash happens after playing many short audio effects for a while
wrapping in a try-catch block does not help - game freezes with

flutter: AudioPlayers Exception: AudioPlayerException(
	AssetSource(path: explosion.mp3), 
	PlatformException(DarwinAudioError, Failed to set source. For troubleshooting, see https://github.com/bluefireteam/audioplayers/blob/main/troubleshooting.md, AVPlayerItem.Status.failed on setSourceUrl, null)
Application finished.

I have also background music FlameAudio.bgm.play which keeps playing after the crash
I have tried with and without AudioCache await FlameAudio.audioCache.loadAll
I have the audio assets specified as this:

flutter:
  assets:
    - assets/audio/explosion.mp3

now got one App crash producing a crash report with huge amounts of these:

Apr 20 '24 12:04 crcdng

have you found any soluttion about this issue. i am also facing this issue. but i am facing this issue on using datatfilesource method.

Apr 23 '24 13:04 adnan-haider007

I don't know if this is the same usecase, I encountered this issue a while back. my usecase was recording and playing the audio. the recorded audio was getting encoded in .caf extension and I was trying to play it with .wav extension.

So you may want to check whether the audio is of proper format as you want t to be or not

Apr 23 '24 17:04 Ayush783

my recorded audio is wav format and tryy to play in same format, but still got error

	DeviceFileSource(path: /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/7F95E3F0-33DA-4637-8833-2E046A42CD5F/Documents/ISNSoundRecorder/1713940724904.wav), 
	PlatformException(DarwinAudioError, Failed to set source. For troubleshooting, see https://github.com/bluefireteam/audioplayers/blob/main/troubleshooting.md, AVPlayerItem.Status.failed on setSourceUrl, null)<…>```
	
	i dont know why it behave like this

Apr 24 '24 06:04 adnan-haider007

@adnan-haider007 if you're using AudioRecorder then make sure to add .wav extension at the end of file path that you are passing to the start method. It gets recorded in .caf even if you specify AudioEncoder.wav explicitly.

If you're already doing it then can't help you sorry.

Apr 25 '24 05:04 Ayush783

I had the same issue and i faced maybe a weird bug?

I fixed it with this line of code before calling the AudioPlayer:

AudioCache.instance = AudioCache(prefix: '');

Im doing a Flutter App for web so i checked the network console and i saw an error getting my mp3 File

Request URL: http://localhost:60173**/assets/assets/**audio/wow_level_up.mp3 Request Method: GET Status Code: 404 Not Found

I wondered why the path includes the name assets twice because my implementation looks like this:

final audioPlayer = AudioPlayer(); await audioPlayer.play(AssetSource('audio/wow_level_up.mp3')); Maybe its a bug with the prefix thing i dont know.

Final result:

AudioCache.instance = AudioCache(prefix: ''); final audioPlayer = AudioPlayer(); await audioPlayer.play(AssetSource('audio/wow_level_up.mp3'));

@Nmxsz see AudioCache. Having twice the assets directory for web is actually correct, assuming you have stored the file in the assets directory. See e.g. https://bluefireteam.github.io/audioplayers/assets/assets/nasa_on_a_mission.mp3

You will notice, if you run flutter build web and go to the folder, build/web, that all your assets are stored within an assets folder, and your folder named assets is a subdirectory of that. So you may made things worse, especially if you want things to work on other platforms other than web. If your files are stored within the audio folder on the root level, you probably did everything right.

For more infos, see this comment: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/86833#issuecomment-1101891941

This worked perfectly for me, thanks a lot!

If you are trying to play remote audio, you can try this.

Uri.decodeFull(path);
