As a part of a before upload control, I check if added files actually match the filetype that their extension describes.
I do a filecheck using a hidden element. and if it fails, it gets removed after formdata append.
I check the files at the backend too, but I also want to check via File Reader process. All functions like createItems or readItems and so on, are working in all other cases, meaning that they return output of either null, true or false. While I get output from image and video files, audio files not at all. It should work.
The question is:
Does the file reader read audio files differently compared to video and image files?
The following is only a tiny block of the actual code.
Now the question is: Why it doesn't return output on audio files?.
quest0&quest1are UI elements. Which is the element that I pull the files from.readeris "new FileReader".what.filecountis added while page init as readonly property.readItemsgives output on all kind off files,
However the UI html doesn't get updated if it is the file type is audio/?

Does the "File reader API" react different on audio files as it does on video or image files?
Thanks for any help.
here it goes.
