react-native-image-picker: Video URI on Android incorrect [🐛]

Any solution for this ?

Any solution for this ?

I applied a temporary solution;

yarn add react-native-fs

import RNFS from 'react-native-fs';

async videoUrlCopy(uri, fileName) {
        const destPath = `${RNFS.TemporaryDirectoryPath}/${fileName}`;
        await RNFS.copyFile(uri, destPath);
        await RNFS.stat(destPath);
        return destPath;
    }

Any solution on how to upload the video using the content uri?

this is a very serious problem and a solution is needed.

@sekizlipenguen @Janak-Nirmal @arhmnsh What do you want to do with the video file?

• Play it in your app? (Content URI will do for that)
• Upload to ur backend? (Content URI will do for that)
• Share it with other apps? (I don’t know how share works)

@arhmnsh why do u enter the URI in chrome, thats not how it works.

Tell your use cases.

I don’t think Content URI is enough to upload to our backend. When trying to upload the file to firebase storage, I get a Permission Denial error when using the Content URI.

Permission Denial: reading com.google.android.apps.photos.contentprovider.impl.MediaContentProvider uri content://com.google.android.apps.photos.contentprovider/-1/2/content:/media/external/video/media/36/ORIGINAL/NONE/video/mp4/1860530892 from pid=7391, uid=10154 requires the provider be exported, or grantUriPermission()

@ramos07 solution works for me but with a slightly change:

const { originalFilepath } = await stat(videoUri);
    const uri = `file://${originalFilepath}`
    return uri;

Any solution for this ?
