Codec exception when artUri is defined for MediaItem

[alexantenna]

Hello.

In my app I have cover art files stored for each album, they're accessible via url, for example: http://antennaria.rocks/music/artwork/ecovillage/sacred_world_1d00e34d24e43b4b9bfc1c241f45300a_250x250.jpg

Trying to use setMediaItem(item) method with artUri set to such url (actually, any url I've tried) results in the following exception:

To be sure that url is valid I've used Uri.encodeFull() but no avail. Also I've tried to put hard-coded urls to various images from the internet to no avail as well.

Did you try artUri functionality by yourself? Did it work at all? What I do wrong?

I did break it accidentally in 0.0.7 but it should be working again in 0.0.8. Let me know how it goes.

[alexantenna]

Still doesn't work :-(

Hmm, are you definitely running the latest release? i.e. If you're getting it from the package server, update pubspec.yaml and run flutter packages upgrade.

That is definitely the same error message I fixed and it has to do with the supported types of data that can be sent over the method channel. II was sending a Uri object rather than a String in 0.0.7 and now it sends a String in 0.0.8.

Looks like plugin was cached or something... Upgrading from 0.0.8 to 0.0.10, deleting .dart-tool and build folders when recompiling fixed the issue. Thanks. Closing.
