Android Question ExoPlayer play problem

[bc_cjb]

hi,

i have a moive in folder "storage/emulated/0/zzb/moive/mhdyt.mp4", i can not play this moive from the folder directly with exoplayer, but copy this moive into File.DirInternal can be played normally.
how can i play this moive from "storage/emulated/0/zzb/moive" directly?

thinks.

Private Sub btn_Play1_Click      'this sub loads a picture is ok but can not play the video
    img_T.Bitmap = LoadBitmap("storage/emulated/0/zzb/pic", "test.jpg")  'loads the picture no problem
    MsgboxAsync(File.Exists("storage/emulated/0/zzb/moive","mhdyt.mp4"),"test")  'return msg is "True"
    player1.Prepare(player1.CreateFileSource("storage/emulated/0/zzb/moive","mhdyt.mp4"))
    my_Exoplayer.Player = player1
    player1.Play   'can not play, no audio and video

Private Sub btn_Play2_Click     'this sub can play the video normally
    Wait For (File.CopyAsync("storage/emulated/0/zzb/moive","mhdyt.mp4",File.DirInternal,"mhdyt.mp4")) Complete (Success As Boolean)
    player1.Prepare(player1.CreateFileSource(File.DirInternal,"mhdyt.mp4"))
    my_Exoplayer.Player = player1
    player1.Play   'no problem
End Sub

You cannot access the external storage directly. You will need to choose the file with ContentChooser or access the folder with ExternalStorage.
