@awesome-cordova-plugins/media seems not to work at all

• bug report

Current behavior:

I'm creating a Media using external url but play() function doesn't work and can't get any information from the events. I'm testing it on my external physical Android 14 device.

Expected behavior:

Load the external URL and play music.

Related code:

import { Media, MediaObject } from '@awesome-cordova-plugins/media'

function handleAudio(){
    
    const file: MediaObject = Media.create("https://example.com/audio.mp3");

    file.onStatusUpdate.subscribe(status => alert(status));
    file.onSuccess.subscribe(() => alert('Action is successful'));
    file.onError.subscribe(error => alert(error));

    file.play()
    
}

I see the same behavior on an iOS device. The logs also show the error Native: tried accessing the Media plugin but it's not installed, when trying to play any media.

Also, when I run npx cap sync it lists that it finds several Capacitor plugins, but Media is not on that list.
