Hello, How are you doing?
Today I got problem to play audio file of obb file.
It works
But Media plugin is not working. so we need solution.
var url =
"content://com.flinklearning.marshalladult.expansion/common/Languages/English/LoginHelp/help_team.mp3";
var my_media = new Media(url,
// success callback
function() {
console.log("playAudio():Audio Success");
},
// error callback
function(err) {
console.log("playAudio():Audio Error: ", err);
}
);
// Play audio
my_media.play();
I got error code=1.

But right now I can't find any alternative solution for being able to access big assets in another way. And if you are in such situation, there really is no solution except writing some custom code to do like Joe says and download the big assets during application startup or something like that.

Large APKs are super bad because you still have to access the video from the package every time, which is either computational (having to extract from the APK every time, which on slower devices is non-zero) or storage overhead (storing the same file twice, taking up twice the space your app said it would on the app store), or you can fetch the files from your server once on the initial startup and save them in your app's data directory. Most games use the custom download approach for a reason.

Instead, videos should be fetched and stored on the SD Card or the Internal Storage, where you only have to pay the penalty of downloading it once.

This should be something included in the core Android platform. Without such mechanism you cannot publish anything above 50Mb which is something the developer shouldn't really care about imho.
