I want to convert video path URI to file object to Upload to Filebase storage. But after I selected video and call

window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(...)

it's never alert File and uploadToFirebase() not call. So, I don't know how to do it.

doGetPicture() 

 // TODO:
 // get picture from camera

 const options: CameraOptions = 
 quality: 100,
 destinationType: this.camera.DestinationType.FILE_URI,
 sourceType: this.camera.PictureSourceType.PHOTOLIBRARY,
 mediaType: this.camera.MediaType.VIDEO,
 

 this.camera.getPicture(options).then((_imagePath) => 
 alert('got image path ' + _imagePath);

 window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL(_imagePath, function (fileEntry) 
 fileEntry.file(function (file) 
 alert('got file! '+file);
 console.log('File__++ ', file);
 );
 );

 );

 


uploadToFirebase(file) 

 // Create the file metadata
 var metadata = 
 contentType: 'video/mp4'
 ;

 // Upload file and metadata to the object 'videos/test.mp4'
 this.fbRef.child('videos/' + file.name).put(file, metadata);

 

Thank you

PS. I'm using Ionic v.4

You could use ionic-native MediaCapture & File Plugins and record the video like this:

recordVid() {
 let options: CaptureVideoOptions = limit: 1, duration: 5 
 this.mediaCap.captureVideo(options).then((data: MediaFile) => 
 let capturedVid = data[0];
 let localVideoPath = capturedVid.fullpath;
 let directoryPath = localVideoPath.substr(0, localVideoPath.lastIndexOf('/'));
 let fileName = localVideoPath.substr(localVideoPath.lastIndexOf('/') + 1); 
 this.file.readAsArrayBuffer(directoryPath, fileName).then((result) => 
 console.log(result);
 let blob = new Blob([result], type: "video/mp4" );
 //then upload the blob to firebase storage
 this.uploadToFirebase(blob);
 );
//catch errors here and maybe add a function to play video in frontend

The UploadTask itself is described here:
