Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

I use a file picker to pick the file from my phone. The test recording I am using is found in my phones downloads

I then run something along these lines

await audioPlayer.openAudioSession(
        focus: AudioFocus.requestFocusAndDuckOthers,     
);
audioPlayer.startPlayer(
      fromURI: audioUrl,   
)

And it shows the platform exception

I use this package to pick the file

file_picker: ^3.0.3

The path to the file I am play is this private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/SOME-RANDOM-CODE/tmp/com.my.app-Inbox/my - recording.mp3

I also check that the file exists before playing it, it exists

Ok I just got it to work, no worries it isn’t a problem with Flutter sound

[mickey-ichi]

I fixed it by using fromDataBuffer instead of fromURI
