[jira] [Updated] (CB-1176) Media.play() freezes app until file has loaded

["Shazron Abdullah (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1176?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Shazron Abdullah updated CB-1176:
---------------------------------

    Fix Version/s: 2.3.0

Network downloads are sync because of an Apple issue: https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-ios/blob/master/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVSound.m#L283

So we synchronously download the media file first. See the File Transfer API to see async download use.

> When calling myMedia.play() with an external Media file, the app fully freezes until the file can be played back.
> Steps to reproduce:
> var media = new Media(url, success, error);
> media.play(); // Browser freezes.
> It would be great if this could be changed so the browser does not freeze. It would make it easier for the developer to display a loading indicator or similar to the user for visual feedback.
