Some audio files not playing in the app
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG REPORT

Description

First reported via OTRS: https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom;TicketID=10675128

Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Go to an article with an audio file, for example, [[ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimigayo | Kimigayo ]]or Waltzing Matilda (audio file is at the start of the "Lyrics" section)
  2. Tap on the play button to start playing the media file.
Actual Results:

File starts playing for about a second, then there is no sound (even though the media player shows a pause button as though the file is still playing)

Note that the same file plays normally when opened in the web browser.

Expected Results:

Audio should be heard in its entirety.

Hey @cooltey and @RHo - I think we may have a different bug blocking this one. Right now when I go to an article with an audio file I am seeing this (screen below). I can tap into the file page and play for there, but I don't see the play, download, etc icons in the article itself. I tried with the 2 articles mentioned in the description and a couple more.

[apps/android/wikipedia@master] For real, fix audio playback in the app.

Testing on Samsung Galaxy Express 3 SM-J120A (Android 6.0.1) and app build 2.7.237-alpha-2018-07-16. The ogg media player files for "Kimigayo" and "Waltzing Matilda" played in their entirety so this looks fixed - in my particular device or build to play the file I had to open another page as you can see in the below attachments, but it played perfectly.
