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:
-
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?
-
How should developers benchmark preloading?
- Are there any best practices to correctly evaluate the performance?
Thank you!
