I have investigated the test failure for Android 4.4. For
cordova-plugin-media, the cause of the failure may be the SSL handshake.
The MediaPlayer in Android 4.4 can not connect to a modern SSL server.
For example:
https://cordova.apache.org/downloads/BlueZedEx.mp3
https://cordova-develop.github.io/cordova-plugin-media/res/BlueZedEx.mp3
On the other hand, the MediaPlayer can connect to a standard SSL server
like:

I have checked the packet, and the available cipher suites of Android
4.4 are as follows:
ECDHE-RSA-AES256-CBC-SHA
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-CBC-SHA
SRP-SHA-DSS-AES256-CBC-SHA
SRP-SHA-RSA-AES256-CBC-SHA
DHE-RSA-AES256-CBC-SHA
DHE-DSS-AES256-CBC-SHA
ECDH-RSA-AES256-CBC-SHA
ECDH-ECDSA-AES256-CBC-SHA
RSA-AES256-CBC-SHA
ECDHE-RSA-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA
ECDHE-ECDSA-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA
SRP-SHA-DSS-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA
SRP-SHA-RSA-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA
DHE-RSA-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA
DHE-DSS-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA
ECDH-RSA-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA
ECDH-ECDSA-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA
RSA-3DES-EDE-CBC-SHA

ECDHE-RSA-RC4-SHA
ECDHE-ECDSA-RC4-SHA
ECDH-RSA-RC4-SHA
ECDH-ECDSA-RC4-SHA
RSA-RC4-SHA
RSA-RC4-MD5
Modern SSL servers may refuse these cipher suites.
In order to resolve this issue, the mp3 file should be downloaded in
another way and then be played by MediaPlayer.
One way of downloading is using the okhttp library with a custom ssl
socket factory.
However, the okhttp library is not included in the latest
cordova-android, and cordova-plugin-okhttp
(https://github.com/MobileChromeApps/cordova-plugin-okhttp) is too old
and not maintained.
I think that a new okhttp plugin should be created, and
cordova-plugin-media should depend on the new okhttp plugin in order to
connect to a modern SSL server.
Or, a more simple option is to specify that the MediaPlayer can not
connect modern SSL servers for Android 4.4, and remove the test of
playing streams for Android 4.4.

I'm not sure of the state of our Android support, especially 4.4. Does
anyone have any pointers? Thanks
