   Thanks for the reply! 
   
   The app in question is one that has one server source, but many streaming audio tracks, kind of like a music streaming service. I am using remote files, including `206 Partial Content` delivery in parts as it should It works perfectly on web, and Android. I've tried many other audio files and they play fine, with a rare few refusing to play at all. Each track has a defined length, and is set in size.
   
   To add detail to this, I've been able to narrow down some things. First, if I do `media.pause()` before `media.seekTo()`, then resume after, seeking won't give me that `playback stalled` error. Additionally, after giving my media object a URL, if I put `media.play()` on a timeout of 150-300ms, it won't give me that error either. However, this seems to be only showing a symptom of the problem. 
   
   For instance I'll get `1: MEDIA_ERR_ABORTED` `AVPlayerItem cannot service a seek request with a completion handler until its status is AVPlayerItemStatusReadyToPlay`. That happens if I try to use a scrubber after trying to load the track, revealing that AVPlayer rather doesn't have enough buffer, or something else. The track in question is about 5-6 minutes, and 7-8MB in size. This only shows up if the track refused to play to begin with. 
   
   Is there a way to tell the plugin to wait for `AVPlayerItemStatusReadyToPlay`, or should it already? Will the player refuse to play a track if it's too big (bitrate)? I'm not sure if there's a timeout on waiting for a buffer, or a hard limit on size for AVPlayer. I'm having a difficult time narrowing this down.
