camcoder and file path

Camcorder.afterrecording has clip parameter to give the file path, but I don't know why in my app give another path:

content://media/external/video/media/<number_with_4_digit>

someone know why?

--

the result from the camcorder unfortunately is a video content uri, but not a path to the recorded clip 

see also this old thread from Dec. 2014 getClip returns a file path not working MIT should change that and provide a file path instead

also unfortunately there is no conversion block available, which converts a video content uri into a path to the file

however you could write your own extension and create a block yourself...

more information about how to create an extension see here Announcing App Inventor Extension Components

however that will be more advanced and will require some Java skills...

I also can offer to write that conversion block, see also Q2 here https://puravidaapps.com/file.php#q .

in order to select manually the video recorded is there something like imagepicker?

-- 

there is no video picker component

you could use my file extension and the FileList block to get a list of files of a given directory, see also https://puravidaapps.com/file.php

The App Inventor Extensions are currently in testing. See the announcement for more information about how to use an App Inventor Extension.

it seems to be, MIT fixed that issue meanwhile

the camcorder now provides the path to the file instead of the content uri as previously

thank you MIT!
