I have a .net maui app, (.Net 7) which downloads mp3 files, to "/data/user/0/com.companyname.myapp/files/Download"

I have tried to play them back using a webview:

<audio controls> <source src="/data/user/0/com.companyname.myApp/files/Download/2012-05-06_AM1.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"> Your browser does not support the audio element. </audio controls> 

Which does not work, as the play arrow is just Greyed out.

also tried: Your browser does not support the audio element. </audio controls>

That does not work either.

If I try

if (File.Exists("/data/user/0/com.companyname.myApp/files/Download/2012-05-06_AM1.mp3" )) { Shell.Current.DisplayAlert("Found", "File Exists", "OK"); } 

The file is found,

I have also tried using the following function, and passing the file ref in the mp3 parameter:

private async void MyPlayer(string mp3) { var audioPlayer = AudioManager.Current.CreatePlayer(await FileSystem.OpenAppPackageFileAsync(mp3)); audioPlayer.Play(); } 

This also errors with file not found.

Any Ideas would be appreciated. This is very frustrating.

If I use a https url, it all works fine. Just when using a local file. I want the app to be able to play downloaded files, when offline,
