Summary
Currently, when the isBehindLiveWindow error (ERROR_CODE_BEHIND_LIVE_WINDOW) occurs in onPlayerError, initializePlayer is executed. However, when initializePlayer is executed, the player is reinitialized, causing it to reload, which results in flickering and feels unnatural.
I believe this error may occur frequently in 3G environments or when the network is poor. In such cases, it would be better to resume playback from the latest live position rather than reinitializing the player.
Motivation
Changes
Then, instead of initializePlayer(), I will execute player?.prepare() and player?.seekToDefaultPosition() to resume the live stream.
Test plan
This is an issue that occurs when playing HLS live streaming in low network mode on Android.
