Unity: Loading mp3 from StreamingAsset Folder in iOS

Questions & Answers
1

I am trying to load a mp3 from the streamingasset folder in a unity project running under ios. in the editor everything works fine, but on the iphone the mp3 is not loading. i now about the filepath issues, but i assumed to have done everything correct. here is the code’:

string fileName = "mytestfile";

if (Application.platform == RuntimePlatform.IPhonePlayer) {
    path = "file:/" + System.IO.Path.Combine (Application.streamingAssetsPath, fileName + ".mp3");
} else {
    path = "file://" + Application.dataPath + "/StreamingAssets/" + fileName + ".mp3";
}

Debug.Log ("LOAD FROM STREAMING ASSET " + path);

// Start a download of the given URL
WWW request = new WWW (path);

// Wait for download to complete
yield return request;

// use request.audio 
AudioClip loadedMp3 = request.GetAudioClip (false, false);   
Debug.Log ("Result length " + loadedMp3.length);

And here is the output in xcode:

LOAD FROM STREAMING ASSET file://var/mobile/Applications/{appid}/appname.app/Data/Raw/mytestfile.mp3

Result length 0

Anyone any idea what i am doing wrong? as i said, in the editor everything works fine.

thank you und best regards wolfgang

Works if you add a file:// prefix to the www call:

WWW request = new WWW (“file://” + path);
