How to stop youtube video or set buffer limit in youtube-api in android

Question

I am using YouTube API to play my video, there are play() and pause() functions in the YouTube player. I need to stop the video at particular time. I am using pause() but the background of the video gets buffering. How do I stop buffering the video after a particular time limit? In webview there is a option start and end tag in URL to buffer like below,

Note: I am using Youtube Player to play video not WEBVIEW

public class YouTube extends YouTubeBaseActivity implements YouTubePlayer.OnInitializedListener {

    public static final String API_KEY = "<---YOUR KEY--->";
    public static final String VIDEO_ID = "<--VIDEO ID YOU WANT TO PLAY--->";
    private static YouTubePlayer player;

    TextView text;

    //this is the end time in milliseconds (65th second)
    public int endTime = 5600;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
        text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text);
        YouTubePlayerView youTubePlayerView = (YouTubePlayerView)findViewById(R.id.youtubeplayerview);
        youTubePlayerView.initialize(API_KEY, this);
    }

    @Override
    public void onInitializationFailure(Provider provider, YouTubeInitializationResult result) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
        "onInitializationFailure()",
        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

    @Override
    public void onInitializationSuccess(Provider provider, YouTubePlayer player, boolean wasRestored) {

        MyActivity.player = player; //necessary to access inside Runnable

        //start the video at 36th second
        player.loadVideo(VIDEO_ID, 0);

        final Handler handler = new Handler();
        handler.postDelayed(() -> {
            //For every 1 second, check the current time and endTime
            if(MyActivity.player.getCurrentTimeMillis() <= endTime) {
                text.setText("Video Playing at " + MyActivity.player.getCurrentTimeMillis());
                handler.postDelayed(this, 1000);
            } else {
                handler.removeCallbacks(this); //no longer required
                text.setText(" Reached " + endTime);
                MyActivity.player.pause(); //and Pause the video
            }
        }, 1000);
    }
}
