@cfjedimaster The platform you tested seems to be android, on windows phone
you cannot directly use absolute paths (for obvious reasons).
Windows returns a file, get the absolute url out of the file, read it
again(also messing up with path is quite hectic on wp) using windows api (which
already gave u the file), whereas if we use blob urls they are the de-facto way
to read media on filesystem, now the runtime itself manages the reading of the
file, the user can store the file if they want.
Also a blob url is actually just a uuid, (its not data-url). Its actually
smaller than the absolute file path on windows phone. ;-)
