Ian Clelland commented on CB-6152:
----------------------------------
MediaFile objects are actually subclassed from File objects, not FileEntry
objects. As such, they would probably never have a {{.toURL}} (or
{{.toNativeURL}}) method. It's a Cordova-specific API quirk that they even have
a {{fullPath}} attribute like FileEntry objects do.
They should, though, have a {{localURL}} attribute, which could be used in its
place, as File objects do now (though this is not yet part of any documented
interface).
It would be a fairly big backwards-incompatible change to remove the
{{fullPath}} attribute, or to change it to something that couldn't be used as a
{{<video>>}} src attribute. I'm inclined to not touch {{fullPath}}, but to add
{{localURL}}, which would be a {{file:///}} or {{cdvfile://}} URL (whichever is
more appropriate) that could be saved and passed later to
{{window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL}}.
> MediaFile Not Compatible with new File Plugin
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-6152
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6152
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin File, Plugin File Transfer, Plugin Media Capture
> Reporter: Matthew Keable
> Assignee: Ian Clelland
>
> The latest release of the File and File Transfer plugins (1.0.0 & 0.4.1
> respectively) now use the cdvfile:// protocol to reference files.
> The Media Capture plugin (0.2.7) does not offer the new toURL() method for
> the returned MediaFile objects.
