Platforms you faced the error (IOS or Android or both?)

Android

Expected behavior

Play the audio file

Actual behavior

Gives PlatformException

Tested environment (Emulator? Real Device?)

Emulator

Steps to reproduce the behavior

This is my code:

void startPlayer() async { print(_filePath); String path = await flutterSound.startPlayer(_filePath); await flutterSound.setVolume(1.0); try { _playerSubscription = flutterSound.onPlayerStateChanged.listen((e) { if (e != null) { sliderCurrentPosition = e.currentPosition; maxDuration = e.duration; DateTime date = new DateTime.fromMillisecondsSinceEpoch( e.currentPosition.toInt(), ); String txt = DateFormat('mm:ss:SS', "it_IT").format(date); this.setState(() { this._playerTxt = txt.substring(0, 8); if (_isPlaying == false) { _isPlaying = true; } }); } else { this.setState(() { _isPlaying = false; }); } }); } catch (e) {} } It could be that the problem is the custom path that is passed as parameter in _flutterSound.startPlayer()? This is the exception when i press on the button that fire my callback startPlayer (code above):

[ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(148)] Unhandled Exception: Exception: PlatformException(ERR_UNKNOWN, ERR_UNKNOWN, Prepare failed.: status=0x1) E/flutter (15855): #0 FlutterSound.startPlayer package:flutter_sound/flutter_sound.dart:18

Tell me if I have to give you more info.

I tried to reproduce the same issue on your example project and I found the “problem”, my file path contained colon and blank spaces, these caused the exception. So, I replaced them with underscore and now works properly in both project.

This needs to be in the docs!
