Current bug behaviour
Fatal Exception: io.flutter.plugins.firebase.crashlytics.FlutterError: PlatformException(AndroidAudioError, MEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN {what:-38}, MEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN {extra:0}, null)
Expected behaviour
Expected Behaviour The application should handle audio playback without any crashes or errors, regardless of the audio source or format. Specifically:
No PlatformException or MEDIA_ERROR_UNKNOWN errors should occur. The audio should play smoothly or provide a clear, recoverable error message in case of an unsupported format. Crashlytics should not log any fatal exceptions related to audio playback. This behavior is expected across all supported platforms, especially Android devices.

On android, I am getting a media error when I use UrlSource which looks something like this issue.
Though it works fine on linux and a web app.
On android, if I fetch the mp3 data with an http.Client.get request and just use the body of the response as the uint8list for a BytesSource, the media player works fine.
Is there some type of configuration necessary to allow the media player to fetch the media from a website? There was some mention of cors in troubleshooting, but I am not familiar enough with android know what do do with that. I don't have any trouble fetching from the website directly in my code, but that probably falls under the generic internet permission whereas the android media player may expect some additional permission or configuration. It has to be within the android call before any attempt to hit the website because my server doesn't see anything when using UrlSource on android.
Having the same issue. It was working fine, but suddenly, it threw that error and crashed the app.
