File not Found but ... file exists

[CostanzoPablo]

Cordova + platform Android

Line Code:
fileUri: currentEntries[file].fullPath

Error:
java.net.MalformedURLException: Protocol not found: /mt4p/VID_20150208_175451753.mp4

---

Edit Code:
fileUri: 'file://' + currentEntries[file].fullPath

Error:
java.io.FileNotFoundException

The file exist and doing console.log(currentEntries[file].fullPath); it says /mt4p/VID_20150208_175451753.mp4

Full code:

function getFileSystem(){
window.requestFileSystem(LocalFileSystem.PERSISTENT, 0,
function(fileSystem){ // success get file system
root = fileSystem.root;
listDir(root);
}, function(evt){ // error get file system
console.log("File System Error: "+evt.target.error.code);
}
);
}

function listDir(directoryEntry){
$('#files').empty();
$('#files').append('

BACK

');
if( !directoryEntry.isDirectory ) console.log('listDir incorrect type');

currentDir = directoryEntry; // set current directory
directoryEntry.getParent(function(par){ // success get parent
    parentDir = par; // set parent directory
    if( (parentDir.name == 'sdcard' && currentDir.name != 'sdcard') || parentDir.name != 'sdcard' ) $('#backBtn').show();
}, function(error){ // error get parent
    console.log('Get parent error: '+error.code);
});

var directoryReader = directoryEntry.createReader();
directoryReader.readEntries(function(entries){
    currentEntries = entries;
    for(var i=0; i<entries.length; ++i){ // show directories
        //var entry = sortedArr[i];
        //var blockLetter = uiBlock[i%4];
        //console.log(entry.name);
        if( entries[i].isDirectory ){
            $('#files').append('<div class="folder" onclick="openFolder('+ i + ');">' + entries[i].name + '</div>');
        }else{
            $('#files').append('<div class="file" onclick="openFile('+ i + ');">' + entries[i].name + '</div>');
        }

    }

}, function(error){
    console.log('listDir readEntries error: '+error.code);
});

}

function openFolder(folder){
currentDir.getDirectory(currentEntries[folder].name, {create:false},
function(dir){ // success find directory
listDir(dir);
},
function(error){ // error find directory
console.log('Unable to find directory: '+error.code);
}
);
}

function openFile(file){
console.log(currentEntries[file].fullPath);

My mistake. Putting this stop giving this error.

fileUri: 'file://mnt/sdcard/1/1.mp4',

Now I have this other: "an error ocurred during transcoding"

[CostanzoPablo]

My mistake. outputFileName: 'gg.mp4',
Only name, no path. Like the comment. // the file name for the transcoded video

Hi!

Happened to me too..
If I use the resolveLocalFileSystemURI, it returns: "an error ocurred during transcoding".
And if I use the fullPath it returns: "java.net.MalformedURLException: Protocol not found:"..

What can I do?

Android 4.2.2.

No you got to use the resolveLocalFileSystemURI. Just put ...

The fullPath for the origin
fileURI: 'file: //mnt/sdcard/123456.mp4'

And only the name of the output (without fulPath)
OutputFileName 'gg.mp4'

instructions unclear. Please enlighten me and put some working code here.

what is the correct path for a file? //mnt/sdcard/123456.mp4' is not clear.

I am using ionic and I have a file at file:///android_asset/www/img/smp12.mp4. And another one in the devices sd card root directory.

I tried many options but all of them returned file not found exception. Can you elloborate the your file path solution.
