Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hey everyone, hope you're all doing well.

I have a Power Apps canvas app with a Gallery connected to a SharePoint document library that stores .wav audio files.

In the gallery, i add an audio control to play the audio, and the media is ThisItem.'File name with extension'

On desktop browser, the audio plays perfectly. Audio.Duration shows the correct value, and playback is smooth.

But on Power Apps mobile (iOS/Android), the same audio:
1. Does not play
2. Duration shows 0
3. No error message appears

Would really appreciate help from anyone who's managed to get SharePoint audio streaming working on mobile inside Power Apps. Thanks!

Hi,

I did some research on this and unfortunately currently I can't find a way to make this work. I created an App just like you did with a SharePoint Library. I made a Media Library with Videos.

In the App I made I need to set the Media to:

ThisItem.'Link to item'
 

I tried to follow this YouTube Video by Reza Dorrani:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IHzq0vJHWU

Unfortunately the Stream control is no longer available in Power Apps.

Since you are working with Audio files, this may work. The Power App is loaded from a different location from the SharePoint site.

On iOS, select Settings > go to Power Apps.
Set the toggle for Allow Cross-Website Tracking to On.

I was actually able to set the Video control - Media property to Reza's video and it play from the Power App on iOS mobile.

It has to be something with how the Power App is trying to communicate with SharePoint or authentication with SharePoint. I could not get any of the possible links to a video in SharePoint to work except for using ThisItem.'Link to item' This only worked in a browser and not on the Mobile App.

Sorry I don't have better news.
