Description

I am trying to stream back an audio file from my server. I am using cordova-media plugin to play the audio, and have it set such that I can set the range header can be set and the server return that range of the audio file. It works perfectly when I test it in the ripple emulator, but does not work on my actual android device. I am using media.seekTo to change the range, and every time I do that the audio file will pause for a second (like it is waiting for the stream to come down) and go to that timestamp, but then I can not go to any timestamp before that. It will just keep playing from the future time stamp, like it is being streamed down and it cannot stop it. When I check on the server, the app is indeed not sending the range header, but only from the android device. It sets it in the ripple emulator.
