React-native-track-player: Play tracks from filesystem using RNFetchBlob.fs.dirs.DocumentDir

[elioscordo]

Hi, thank you for the hard work! The project looks amazing.

I tried to download a track (using fetch-blob) and play it.
It can play from the url but not from the file in the IOS simulator
Any advice for the use case? I would like to download and play audio offline.

``` componentDidMount() { const dirs = RNFetchBlob.fs.dirs.DocumentDir let file_url =https://elio.mobi/media/filer_public/03/35/0335c133-6fca-40a4-bb04-5fa0810dd38c/mountain_of_anxiety_2.mp3 let file_path =${dirs}/player-offline-sample.mp3 console.log(Ready to download to ${file_path}) RNFetchBlob.config({ path : file_path}).fetch('GET', file_url, {}).then( (res) => { console.log(File downloaded to ${file_path}`);
TrackPlayer.setupPlayer().then(() => {
let track = { id:'try', url:file_path,title:"try artist",artist:"artist"}
TrackPlayer.add([track]).then(function() {
console.log("Track Added Created")
TrackPlayer.play()
});
})

  }).catch(function(error) {
console.log(error);
});
}

Everything works just prefixing the uri with
file://

Yes, you actually need to prepend file:/// to play any file in both platforms. A few other methods might work, but this is the recommended solution

And I want from app's files folder.
file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.myproject/files/audios/myaudio.mp3
How??
I am doing by
url:"file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.myproject/files/audios/myaudio.mp3".
Also Tried
url:"file:///" + RNFB.fs.dirs.DocumentDir + "/audios/myaudio.mp3",
