Description
Expected behavior of the wanted feature
One of the main selling point of hls/dash is adaptive playback: having the player automatically switch between variants/renditions as the network bandwidth changes. It would be great to have optional support for this in mpv.
First discussed in #7033
Alternative behavior of the wanted feature
Write a lua script to manually toggle renditions but i don't think we can currently change renditions without clearing the playback cache (which is a requirement for seamless adaptive playback)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the prior discussion in #7033 and the supplied adaptive HLS sample. The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point, so locating the playback and rendition-handling code will require project research. Done means optional switching between variants as bandwidth changes, without clearing the playback cache.
