Play sound file problem

[Visionbrasil]

Problem:
If I have a sound file xxx.mp3 in the internal memory and play it in MacroDroid with my Smartphone (where i made the macro) then it works.

But if I transfer the macro and the xxx.mp3 file to a other Smartphone (also in the same internal memory), then the mp3 file was not found / don't play.

Why?

You must re-enter file URL when running on another device than the original one.

Yes, I noticed that. But that's exactly what I don't want.
That other (inexperienced) people have to change something in the macro, before they can use it.

That will not work like Windows? C:\xxx.mp3
Android like that ?
/storage/emulated/xxx.mp3

It is true that the play sound action will typically need reconfiguring when moved to another device because the files will be very much based on what is on the local device. There may be some scope for having these files exported as well as part of the export process but this would require considerable work and the current export file is a text file and wouldn't work well trying to embed (potentially large) binary files such as a large number of audio files.

Sorry, but currently it just doesn't work like you want in MacroDroid and the action will propably always need to be reconfigured.

Thanks for the information. This is a pity.
I moved now the sound files to the notification folder. This makes it easier for others to find and (re)choose them.
It would be nice, if it would be easier in the future.
