[GitHub] [cordova-plugin-file] merri-ment opened a new issue #398: Issue finding mp4 in Camera Roll (ios) after writing file to disk
merri-ment opened a new issue #398:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/issues/398
I am building an app using Cordova that generates mp4s using ffmpeg.js, the output is a blob.
The blob is then written to disk using cordova-plugin-file.
The problem is i can't find the mp4 within the Camera Roll once downloaded.
The following code appears to run correctly, not throwing any errors and reaching the onwriteend function. I am also confident the mp4 isn't corrupt.
let folderPath = Env.ios ? window.cordova.file.documentsDirectory : window.cordova.file.externalDataDirectory
let filename = 'video.mp4'
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(folderPath, (dir) => {
console.log("got main dir", dir);
dir.getFile(filename, {
create: true
}, (file) => {
console.log("got the file", file);
file.createWriter(
(fileWriter) => {
fileWriter.onwriteend = function() {
console.log("onwriteend :: success writing file");
};
fileWriter.onerror = function(err) {
alert("Unable to download");
console.error(err);
};
fileWriter.write(myVideoBlob);
},
(err) > {
// failed
alert("Unable to download");
console.error(err);
}
)
},
(err) => {
alert("Unable to download");
console.error(err);
}
);
},
(err) => {
alert("Unable to download");
console.error(err);
});
I have spent a fair amount of time googling this issue and reading the docs, but i'm still not entirely sure if saving to the Camera Roll on ios is possible.
I'm using the following dependancies;
"cordova": "^9.0.0",
"cordova-android": "^8.1.0",
"cordova-ios": "^6.0.0",
"cordova-plugin-add-swift-support": "^2.0.2",

Hey @timbru31,
Thanks for the reply!
After further investigation i found the mp4s were indeed being saved to the App's documents folder, as intended 🤦
It was my misunderstanding that these mp4s would be viewable in the ios Photos App, under the videos category or even its own album folder. Do you know if this is possible using cordova-plugin-file?

Is this reproducible in a new, plain Cordova app? A minimal reproduction repository would really help to debug and later fix this issue. More information on how to create one: https://github.com/apache/cordova-contribute/blob/master/create-reproduction.md

For people looking for a similar solution.
I managed to save the mp4 to the ios Library / Photos App by using this forked version of cordova-plugin-photo-library;
https://github.com/tien271/cordova-plugin-photo-library-wkwebview
Heres the updated code example;
```
const myVideoBlob = new Blob([data.buffer], {
type: 'video/mp4'
})
let folderPath = Env.ios ? window.cordova.file.documentsDirectory : window.cordova.file.externalDataDirectory
let filename = 'video.mp4'
window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(folderPath, (dir) => {
dir.getFile(filename, { create: true }, (file) => {
file.createWriter(
(fileWriter) => {
fileWriter.onwriteend = function() {
// fileWriter - onwriteend :: save file to ios Library
window.cordova.plugins.photoLibrary.saveVideo(file.nativeURL, 'myVideoAlbum', function() {
// photoLibrary - on save :: remove fileEntry from temp storage
file.remove(function(file) {
// photoLibrary - on file deleted :: mission complete
}, function(error) {
console.log("error occurred: " + error.code)
}, function() {
console.log("file does not exist");
});
}, function(err) {
console.log(err)
});
};
fileWriter.onerror = (err) => console.log(err)
fileWriter.write(myVideoBlob);
},
(err) => console.log(err)
)
},
(err) => console.log(err)
);
},
(err) => console.log(err)
)
```
I'm surprised this isn't achievable using only the cordova-plugin-file plugin
