iOS - cover set to relative path to the /www folder doesn't work

[shawnlan]

I have cover set to this path: assets/img/music-placeholder.png, which is under /www folder. However on iOS this doesn't set the cover image. Any idea?

Hello,
I am facing the same problem (Android), did you found any solution?

[shawnlan]

I have no problem with Android. Check your file and path and make sure everything is correct.

The version of this plugin i was using was outdated sorry :P

I'm having this same issue on iOS. @shawnlan- did you figure it out?

[shawnlan]

I use remote image as a workaround. Not ideal, but at least works.

[jg33]

Ok- works! But yeah, not ideal. Thanks!

same here, would be nice to have local file support like android

The same issue only on iOS

I have the same issue on iOS and android. Remote images work fine. On iOS I can't get any local images to work.

Has anyone found a fix for this?

Has anyone been able to use local images with iOS?

How can I find out about using fullpath ('file:///storage/emulated/...') that is mentioned in the readme? Is it possible to use that as a workaround for images located at www/image_dir_name/image.png?

I am using:
MusicControls version 2.1.4
Cordova version 8.0.0
iPhone5 with iOS 10.3.3 (and iPhone7 simulator iOS 10.2)

[GitFr33]

line 107 in musicControls.m [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0]; seemed to be pointing to /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX/Documents instead of /var/containers/Bundle/Application/XXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX/app_name.app/www/

Replacing it with NSString * baseCoverImagePath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingString:@"/www/"]; seems to make the iOS version behave the way the Android version does with regard to cover image path.

Please correct me if there is a better way to do this.

It is not necessary, many times it is because the name of the app contains spaces or something like that
(the App)

I did it like this:

iOS
(cordova.file.applicationDirectory + "www / assets / imgs / cover-random.jpg"). replace ("% 20", ""); (if you app contain spaces)
or
(cordova.file.dataDirectory + cover.name) + ".jpg"

Android
assets / imgs / cover-random.jpg
or
this.file.dataDirectory + cover.name ".jpg";

As above using full path to the file should work fine, it does for me on iOS and Android for using local images.
