bikubi opened a new issue #324:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media/issues/324
# Bug Report
## Problem
### What is expected to happen?
`new Media('http://example.com/finite.mp3');` plays a sound from the
internet,
`new Media('http://example.com/infinite-radio-live.mp3');` should play a
live streaming sound.
### What does actually happen?
I see a status update to 2 (`MEDIA_RUNNING`), but there is no sound.
## Information
<!-- Include all relevant information that might help understand and
reproduce the problem -->
I've tried different radio stations (servers), protocols (http(s)) and
formats (mp3, aac) to no avail.
### Command or Code
<!-- What command or code is needed to reproduce the problem? -->
I have made a Minimal Reproduction Repo, originally in the probably
unrelated issue #242 (OP mentions Android):
https://github.com/bikubi/cordova-plugin-media-mwe
I have since found the issue and a possible fix:
[player.automaticallyWaitsToMinimizeStalling](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfoundation/avplayer/1643482-automaticallywaitstominimizestal)
has to be `true` -- which makes sense with live streaming ("let it buffer").
I have implemented it as a proof of concept:
https://github.com/bikubi/cordova-plugin-media/commit/591a7772b38e51f5832cb0582a5248caae207587
...and have my MRR use it [in branch
`hotfix`](https://github.com/bikubi/cordova-plugin-media-mwe/tree/hotfix).
I'd fashion a PR, but am not sure where to put my fix (and how, this was my
first line of ObjectiveC (?)), especially how to apply it only when the url is
a live stream. There's no way to tell by the URL, so I guess it would have to
be an extra parameter.
