How to load local media file in nw.js?

I'm writing a nw.js desktop app. And I want to play some audio file on html page.

If I load some audio from the app path, it will work, like <audio src="test.wav"></audio>

However , for most time. I'd like to load some other audio file on my computer,out of the app folder. Which didn't work. the code is below:

So what is the right way to do this?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
        <title>test audio</title>
</head>
<body style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">
    <audio src="/Users/shidanlifuhetian/Desktop/45.wav" crossorigin="anonymous" controls="controls">

    </audio>    
</body>
</html>
Solution

  • Found the solution after several try.

    just add file:// before src attribute.

    like this:

       <audio src="file:///Users/shidanlifuhetian/Desktop/45.wav" crossorigin="anonymous" controls="controls">
    </audio>
