HLS Live Streaming on IOS

[ericlifs]

Bug

I want to configure the buffer for live streaming videos on iOS but the readme says that the bufferConfig prop works only for android. Also, the already existing ways of getting the available bandwidth updates are not working on ios.

Not sure if there is a workaround for setting/getting those values.

@ericlifs do you have any solution for this ?

[ericlifs]

@ApWin no, not at all. I'm hoping someone from react-native-video can provide more info on this.

[scottschindler]

Same issue. Any luck @ericlifs or @ApWin ?

We need it so badly!

Here is a start of implementation I reopen yesterday: #1353 not sure how it goes ...

[DLowHP]

Does anybody here know if it is possible to set a single native player property while keeping the react-native-player intact? Maybe it's possible to patch it yourself without changing the library?

Maybe you can open a discussion, but the answer will be that both exoplayer shall have the same version...

Bump. I need this so badly. I would even move from Expo-AV and donate some cash if iOS buffer config will be working as intended.
