Issue with Playing HTTPS Media Files in Asterisk ARI (GCS URL Not Working)

Asterisk Asterisk APIs
1

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working with Asterisk ARI and trying to use channel.play() to play a media file hosted on Google Cloud Storage (GCS). The media URL is HTTPS and publicly accessible. Example:
(https://storage.googleapis.com/my-bucket-name/hello-world.wav)

However, when I try to use this in:

channel.play({ media: 'https://storage.googleapis.com/my-bucket-name/hello-world.wav' });

…it doesn’t seem to work. There’s no playback, and no error is thrown directly in ARI logs. When I switch to a local sound file like sound:hello-world, it works fine.

Questions:

  1. Does Asterisk natively support HTTPS playback via channel.play()?
  2. Is there a workaround for playing HTTPS audio?
  3. Any special format or headers required for remote file playback?
