I’m new to Ionic but i already love it 
(I did use Angular before) I want to make my next project with Ionic but I do have a “challenge", hopefully someone can help me. Our client would like an app that can play 10 video’s. He also wants the video’s to play when the internet connection is broken. So i have to find a way to locally store them. That wouldn’t be a big problem if it were always the same video’s but our client wants to change them every month by using a CMS. So i have a CMS that provides me with an API that give’s me an URL to the video. Can someone give me some advise on how I would solve this issue? I was thinking about PouchDB but because I never used PouchDB before I’m not sure if that is what i need.
Every suggestion is welcome , thanks!
use cordova file and filetransferplugin:
with the fileplugin --> mount your PERSISTEN filesystem --> create folder for your app.
with file-transfer plugin… download the files to your folder
Thank you so much for helping me out! I can’t wait to try this! 
Hello, I am trying achieve the same task in Android, I download video files from external URL and try to store in cordova.file.dataDirectory path like this.
// Path example: /data/data/<app-id>/files/video.mp4
var targetPath = cordova.file.dataDirectory + video_SD;
$cordovaFileTransfer.download(server_url_video, targetPath, {}, true).then(function(result) {
// Success!
alert( JSON.stringify(result) );
...
Apparently everything goes fine, but when i look into the directory , it is empty.
Does anybody know what is happening? thank you
FYI, i have solved this problem.
In order to download the files properly, the right targetpath must be:
var targetPath = cordova.file.externalDataDirectory + video_SD;
and here is the URL ready to be used in video src tag :
$scope.srcFile = result.toNativeURL();
Regards.
