Download image from computer

[Cxrrxj]

Hi, I’m trying to download an image to my game from the computer where it’s running. I’m using the node Download image. It is working just fine when I download an image from the web but I cannot make it work when I try to download an image from the computer. I tried with file:/// +image path, but doesn’t work.

Thoughts?

*Btw, I’m running on a mac, just in case that makes a difference.

Thanks

EDIT: Maybe I have to grant access to my computer?
EDIT 2: I saw this post from [USER=“21609”]Rudy Q[/USER] pointing at the file:/// solution but again doesn’t seem to be working. Perhaps I’m missing something. Filesystem, user can upload image to the game? - Programming & Scripting - Unreal Engine Forums

you can add breakpoint at the UAsyncTaskDownloadImage::HandleImageRequest(…) to see any CURL errors (CurlCompletionResult) in the AsyncTaskDownloadImage.cpp .

In my case, it was: can’t read a file. because I forgot to add the extension in the path.

Update: for the shipping build you must convert relative path (from ProjectContentDir) to absolute:
