When using a subtitle link in the vidoPlay function, I encounter the following error: {"method":"initPlayer","message":"cannot convert filePath in URL","result":false}. I have checked that all the necessary data exists.

Here's a short brief about the issue that you can post on GitHub:

Issue: Error when using subtitle link in vidoPlay function

Description:
I am facing an error when attempting to use a subtitle link in the vidoPlay function. The error message is as follows: {"method":"initPlayer","message":"cannot convert filePath in URL","result":false}. I have ensured that all the required data is present.

Code:

vidoPlay(url, sub, title) {
  let urls = url;
  let subtitleUrl = Capacitor.convertFileSrc(this.movie.subtitle_url1);
  console.log(subtitleUrl);
  if (urls && subtitleUrl) {
    CapacitorVideoPlayer.initPlayer({
      url: urls,
      playerId: "vpPlayer",
      mode: "fullscreen",
      title: title,
      subtitle: String(subtitleUrl),
      subtitleOptions: {
        fontSize: 16
      },
      pipEnabled: true,
      showControls: true,
      displayMode: "landscape"
    }).then((a) => {
      console.log(a);
      CapacitorVideoPlayer.play({
        playerId: 'vpPlayer',
      }).then((a) => {
        // Handle play success
      });
    }).catch(e => {
      alert(e);
    });
  }
}

Expected Behavior:
I expect the CapacitorVideoPlayer.initPlayer function to accept the subtitle link provided in the subtitleUrl variable and display the subtitles accordingly. However, the error mentioned above is encountered.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Call the vidoPlay function with a valid url, sub, and title.
2. Ensure that the subtitleUrl variable contains a valid subtitle link.
3. Observe the error message {"method":"initPlayer","message":"cannot convert filePath in URL","result":false}.

Additional Information:

• I have verified that all the necessary data (URLs, titles, etc.) is present and correct.
• I have tested the CapacitorVideoPlayer library with other functionalities, and they work as expected.
• I have tried using the Capacitor.convertFileSrc function to convert the subtitle URL, but the error persists.

Any assistance or guidance on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

@bravao911 can you give the video url and vidéo subtitle url. Is it from internal urls?. Capacitor.convertFileSrc will not work

@bravao911 can you give the video url and vidéo subtitle url. Is it from internal urls?. Capacitor.convertFileSrc will not work

subtitle url : https://shamia.net/upload/sub/[SubtitleTools.com]%20The.Deep.House.2021.720p1080p.WEBRip.x264.AAC-[YTS.MX]-Arabic.vtt

video url : https://690b1613de1830d27ee50d6b199335dd.silentsong.xyz/Movies/TheDeepHouse.mp4

l have tried

 vidoPlay(url,sub,title){
    let urls = url
    let subtitleUrl = sub
    console.log(subtitleUrl)
    if (urls&&subtitleUrl) {
      CapacitorVideoPlayer.initPlayer({
        url:urls,
        playerId:"vpPlayer",
        mode:"fullscreen",
        title:title,
        subtitle:subtitleUrl,
        subtitleOptions:{
          fontSize:16
        },
        pipEnabled:true,
        showControls:true,
        displayMode:"landscape"
      }).then((a)=>{
        console.log(a)
        CapacitorVideoPlayer.play({
          playerId:'vpPlayer',
        }).then((a=>{
          
        }))
      }).catch(e=>{
        alert(e)
      })
    }
  }

But l have same issue .

If l put subtitle url directly . :

vidoPlay(url,sub,title){
    let urls = url
    let subtitleUrl = sub
    console.log(subtitleUrl)
    if (urls&&subtitleUrl) {
      CapacitorVideoPlayer.initPlayer({
        url:urls,
        playerId:"vpPlayer",
        mode:"fullscreen",
        title:title,
        subtitle:"https://shamia.net/upload/sub/[SubtitleTools.com]%20The.Deep.House.2021.720p1080p.WEBRip.x264.AAC-[YTS.MX]-Arabic.vtt",
        subtitleOptions:{
          fontSize:16
        },
        pipEnabled:true,
        showControls:true,
        displayMode:"landscape"
      }).then((a)=>{
        console.log(a)
        CapacitorVideoPlayer.play({
          playerId:'vpPlayer',
        }).then((a=>{
          
        }))
      }).catch(e=>{
        alert(e)
      })
    }
  } 

he works fine .

l have fixed the issue by adding the language of the subtitle. Ex, my subtitle is Arabic language so l have added language:"0x0001", As mentioned in doc
