@kyleabens I'm not sure if it's the same bug but unfortunately embedding locale videos in the img tag on Android doesn't work at the moment, see ionic-team/capacitor#6021

@KANekT Can you share your use case where you need to request permission? In my tests on Android (Android 13, Pixel 5) and iOS, request permissions has not been necessary so far. If you really need this, then i have to implement the method in this plugin.

sorry, I did not know that such a bug already exists in the core Capacitor

I thought it was just a file permissions issue.

but - requestpermissions may be fix error in current ...

@KANekT I tried adding requestPermission and that unfortunately didn't resolve my issue.

@robingenz What I'm doing is giving users the ability to select images and videos and then display them in a modal that they can then upload to our server. Images work fine on Android, it's only videos that are not displaying. Also videos are not being placed in an img tag, I'm using the video tag for those (Eg. <video><source src="path"></video>). I don't want to convert the videos to base64 since that's memory intensive and unnecessary for simply displaying them before uploading.

Again this works on browser and iOS no problem. I'm assuming it has something to do with the videos I'm selecting being on Google photos? However images work fine so idk. At the end of the day I'm just trying to display a video in the html based on the path of that video

Might have to use something like this for the time being https://github.com/jepiqueau/capacitor-video-player

Yes, that's the issue i linked: ionic-team/capacitor#6021

One of my clients has the same problem. Therefore, this plugin will probably generate thumbnails for videos in the next version, which can be displayed to the user. Maybe you have another use case and this isn't a solution for you.

As this is not a bug in this plugin, i am closing the issue.
