--------------------------------

             Summary: Media plugin downloads media on main UI thread.
                 Key: CB-5378
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5378
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: iOS, Plugin Media
    Affects Versions: 3.1.0
            Reporter: Michal Mocny


Reported on the mailing list by Nick Burka:

"I’ve been implementing a simple Media playback app. It looks something like:

console.log(’start');
mediaPlayer = new Media(
    uri_to_my_mp3_file,
    mediaSuccess,
    mediaError,
    mediaStatus);

console.log(’end’);
mediaPlayer.play();

When the JavaScript executes, it takes 20+ seconds between the ‘start’ and ‘end’ logs. Then when I seekTo() on the playing file, it’s virtually instantaneous. I presume that the Media class is downloading the entire file on instantiation?

A few other people seem to have the same problem:

Any help would be much appreciated."
