Android Question MediaPlayer.Load from Subfolder in File.DirAssets Works in Debug but Not in Release

[hanyelmehy]

I’m using MediaPlayer.Load(File.DirAssets, "sounds/test.mp3") to load an MP3 file that I placed inside a subfolder (sounds) under the Files tab.
In Debug mode, everything works fine — the media file is found and plays.

Common Causes​

Asset Compression: In release mode, certain file types in subdirectories may get compressed by default, which can break file access if your code expects uncompressed files.

It will probably work if you change the backslash / to forward slash \.

If you can avoid subfolders then avoid them.
