Can't access the recorded video Ionic & Capacitor

[ciccilleju]

I’m using Capacitor 3 and Ionic 5 angular, physical device Samsung Galaxy s20 and Android 11

I’ve used the media capture plugin for recording a video which is saved in my gallery.

I get a result like this:

[MediaFile]
0: MediaFile
end: 0
fullPath: "file:///storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/20210522_185343.mp4"
lastModified: null
lastModifiedDate: 1621702425000
localURL: "cdvfile://localhost/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/20210522_185343.mp4"
name: "20210522_185343.mp4"
size: 13596835
start: 0
type: "video/mp4"
proto: File
length: 1
What should i do if i want to access that video and send, for example, uploading it to my server?

I’ve tried this:

public async addNewToGallery() {
this.mediaCapture.captureVideo().then(
(data: MediaFile[]) => {
this.videos.unshift({
filepath: data[0].fullPath,
webviewPath: data[0].fullPath
});

    this.videoUrl = Capacitor.convertFileSrc(data[0].fullPath);
  },
  (err: CaptureError) => console.error(err)
);

}

but it dosnt let me access the file, which now have this "address", after the conversion:

http://capacitor_file/storage/emulated/0/DCIM/Camera/20210522_185343.mp4
but seems like i can’t access the file.

it depends on me or is an android 11 problem?
thanks

Running into the same issue, were you ever able to send it to your server?
on my end when I do capture image the image does get saved to my gallery, but I’m unable to save videos.
