Is there a cross platform way to access a "My Music" type folder?

Development Programming & Scripting

Ultimately, I’d like to allow a user to pick a song on their PC / MAC / Android / IOS / or whatever else UE4 supports and play it for them. Ideally, if I could access a folder with music, I can just list the contents for the user to select what they want. I’m sure it’s easier said than done though, I’m not quite sure where to begin since my programming experiences are rather limited to windows.

If there is no way to locate a “my music” folder on a device, Then I suppose a cross platform file or folder selection dialog would be fine.

So basically, is there a unified way to do any of the above? or do I need to branch logic based on each platform I want to support?

So … considering I’ve had no answers in over 3 days, I’m going to assume this is going to need a custom plugin made…

Did you find a way to do this? I’m very interested in making this happen in my game, but have found essentially nothing.

Only thread I’ve come across on the subject: Custom Music Player - C++ - Epic Developer Community Forums

Nope, and if you are after media player functionality, you can play USoundWaves all day from memory, or you can write your own plugin to find files and play them yourself. That’s what I ended up doing.

Thanks for the update. Been looking into a way to pull in a computer/mobile device’s music library to play a song and influence gameplay elements.
