@corychoy I think the best solution to fix this will be for the user to click play and for the player to display but still in the stopped state. Then the user will have to press play again. Part of this issue is because files can't be played programmatically (to prevent users from unnecessarily downloading large audio files over their cellular network). So the player has to be on screen before it is played.
