Description

  • I carefully read the contribution guidelines and agree to them.
  • I checked if the issue/feature exists in the latest version.

It would be nice if the video player didn't switch to the new resolution until it built up a buffer. This would allow the video to continue playing rather than stop to reload the video.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate ExoPlayer's buffering mechanism and explore ways to defer resolution switches until a buffer is built up for the new resolution, potentially using the player's queue or custom load control.
