iOS - Playback failure from device filesystem about cordova-plugin-media HOT 5 OPEN

Here is what I try and it works in version 5.0.2:

var path = 'media/sounds/warning.mp3'

// Need to unescape if path have '%20' component
var filePath =
              decodeURI(cordova.file.applicationDirectory) + 'www/' + path;

// iOS need to remove file://
if (device.platform.toLowerCase() == 'ios') {
  filePath = filePath.replace('file://', '');
}

var audio = new Media(filePath, null,
            function(e) {
            console.log(JSON.stringify(e));
          }, function(status) {

          });

audio.setVolume('1.0');
audio.play()

from cordova-plugin-media.

removing file:// works like a charm.
Sadly this is not documented anywhere except in this report.

Can you open the URL you are trying to load with the plugin when just creating a simple link and clicking on it?

Thanks for the quick response. Yes i am able to open the file using a link in the application, also via the browser on my local machine (attached screenshots for clarity)

@zeal-hexsave Duude, you saved my life with this comment 'Need to unescape if path have '%20' component'. I've been beating my head on the problem of sounds not playing at least for a couple of days. Thank you so much.
