enableLowInitialPlaylist - only first time for loop video #1262

Open tamir-sptl opened 2 years ago

Description

HLS - When playing a video in loop and enabling 'enableLowInitialPlaylist' , is it possible that only the first loop iteration will use the low resolution?

Briefly describe the issue. Currently, when setting 'enableLowInitialPlaylist' to true, every time the video loops, it starts with low res and later, updates to higher res. Is it possible to enable that flag only for first iteration? will that cause additional buffering on the second iteration? if so, can that be avoided somehow by pre-fetching the high res chunks ahead of time?
