No it's not possible to play local files/ assets from this plugin till now. may be plugin will support in future releases.

HI @singhbhavneet Sorry, I closed this because it's not a bug but additional feature which may be added in future releases. after extending my knowledge about GitHub issues, I feel that this issue should be closed when enhancement is done. will keep in mind for the future.

Thanks.

To use the plugin as-is and load local flutter audio assets you can use the following code to make it happen:

You need to import the path_provider package.

import 'package:flutter/services.dart'; // rootBundle
import 'dart:io'; // File()
import 'package:path_provider/path_provider.dart'; // getApplicationDocumentsDirectory()

onPressed: () async {
  // Read the Flutter asset file and save it to the Android or iOS Application Documents Folder
  final fileName = 'my_audio_file.mp3';
  var bytesData = await rootBundle.load("assets/audios/$fileName");
  String addDocDirectoryPath = (await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory()).path;
  String filePathAndName = addDocDirectoryPath + '/$fileName';
  await File(filePathAndName).writeAsBytes(bytesData.buffer.asUint8List());

MediaPlayer player;
  MediaFile song1 = MediaFile(
    title: "Song 1",
    type: "video",
    source: filePathAndName,
    desc: "Note from Apple",
  );
},

Ability to play an audio file from local storage?

Just convert the source to a Uri before passing it to the player.

Uri.file("yourpath/yourfile.ext", windows: true).toString()

String sourceFile = Uri.file("yourpath/yourfile.ext", windows: true).toString()
MediaFile(
              title: "Title",
              type: "audio",
              source: sourceFile,
              desc: "Desc here and whater else",
            )
