Description

Hello 👋, I would like to ask some questions about PreloadConfiguration.

In my use case, I’m using ExoPlayer to play a playlist of videos. This seems like a good scenario to apply PreloadConfiguration for preload optimization.

However, I have a few questions here:

  1. How can I practically verify that preloading is actually working?

    • Is there any callback to obtain such information, or a way to determine it from metrics/data?
  2. How should developers benchmark preloading?

    • Are there any best practices to correctly evaluate the performance?

Thank you!
