Video files are generally large and it is not a good idea to pass them through the bridge in one go as base 64, you would need to read it in chunk. I'm planning to work on a way to upload the file from the native side itself. But that will likely not be an OSS plugin (I will try my best to make it OSS)
@maximilien0405 You can use this plugin to read large files in chunks over the bridge, and then upload from the browser side.
@shiv19 Wow that looks quite complicated but also seems like a good solution to handle large files ! Thank I will look into it and try to implement it !
@maximilien0405 another option I'm looking at is this:
https://github.com/spoonconsulting/cordova-plugin-background-upload
Use it with https://github.com/danielsogl/awesome-cordova-plugins/tree/master
https://npm.im/@awesome-cordova-plugins/background-upload
This way, you don't need to bring the file over the bridge to begin with. :)
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yes it is, but not in this plugin. Currently the Capacitor FileSystem copy() function does not work on android, it crashes the application. I use it to copy the file and paste it in the cache folder so that i can get the file's base64 data (this is the only solution i found that works..)
Describe the solution you'd like A function that would allow me to give it the video url, and then it gives me the base64 data as a response?
Describe alternatives you've considered The only alternative that i have does not work on android.. so that why it would be a great thing to implement ! If it's not possible or not in the scope of the plugin i would understand :)
