Description
Hi,
In our experience ExoPlayer does not use lower bitrate even there is latency in downloading big chunks and this causes freezing and buffering. However the bandwith is 6 Mbit, because of VBR sometimes the size of one 2 second chunk differs from 1.5 MegeByte to 15 MegaByte. In our experience when there is increase in bitrate the player still tries to download next chunk using same bitrate instead of lowering bitrate. What is causing this problem. Is there a way or configuration to fix this?
