Can I use Android ExoPlayer to rewind an HLS stream that is a live event?

I have an .m3u8 file that has no #EXT-X-ENDLIST tag. ExoPlayer plays the stream just fine.

What I would like to do is have the following functionality:

  1. Press the rewind button to go back X seconds.
  2. Press the forward button to resume the live stream.

Is such a thing possible with ExoPlayer?

Edit: actually, it seems that #2 may already work as I had hoped.

Solution

  • Apparently, this isn't possible (yet).
