Using file:/// in HTML in packaged apps
See original GitHub issue- Version: 19.24.1
- Target: win32
When I package my app, tags using URL’s referencing file:/// stop working. For example, I have a video tag whose source is an absolute URL to a spot on the hard disk and it reports this when I attempt to play:
Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The element has no supported sources.
I am assuming this is somehow related to the ASAR packaging. Is there a way to whitelist certain file:/// URL’s? In my particular case, I need to be able to reference files from the user’s Documents directory directly with elements.

Ok, I hope you will find solution. btw — https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/electron-video-player also uses electron-builder but it seems can play video files from disk.
Thank you for the help!
