---------------------------------------
Summary: 'startPlayingAudio' causes audio file to be restarted;
unable to resume from paused position
Key: CB-5953
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5953
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Plugin Media
Environment: iOS
Reporter: Stephen Bartholomew
OVERVIEW
The Media plugin uses 'startPlayingAudio' when Media#play() is called
(https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-plugin-media.git;a=blob;f=www/Media.js;h=083af3623a56fded9fd25505a94d19bd901c5e6a;hb=HEAD#l75).
The comment states that this will "play or resume" audio but every time, the
audio starts from the beginning.
I've only tested on iOS and my cause/solultions only cover this. I'm not
familiar enough with the other platforms right now to make a judgement.
CAUSE
CDVAudioFile is initialised from scratched each time startPlayingAudio is
called, rather than reusing the current playing instance:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-plugin-media.git;a=blob;f=src/ios/CDVSound.m;h=14b2fc24387cbf91e8e1aad15c3717af63b26ecd;hb=HEAD#l297
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
1. Store the current playing instance and reuse the resource path is unchanged
2. Add a 'resume' method to use instead of using play
I'm happy to look into either of these but I'd like confirmation of my
assessment of the problem and some kind of consensus on the solution.
WORKAROUNDS
I'm now attempting to store the audio position at the time of pausing then
doing a seek after play to put the audio in the correct place via the JS - not
ideal.
