Description

Hello,

 

on my Huawei P8 Lite with Android 6 and EMI 4.0.3 the following code doesn't play the remote file:

var a = new Media('https://audio-ssl.itunes.apple.com/apple-assets-us-std-000001/AudioPreview41/v4/cc/ee/4b/ccee4b08-094f-5972-6a4f-80fe2d056660/mzaf_6222722413468693928.plus.aac.p.m4a', null, function(err) {console.log(err);});

a.play();

• When I open the URL in Chrome on this device, everything works.
• When I use a remote MP3 file, it also works.
• On iOS the same code works.
• On my Huawei Android 5 device it also works.

 

Is this a bug in the plugin? What can I do?
