Here we are focusing to change the cookie at every 120 seconds while playing , in apple avplayer we can't modify cookie after initialisation due to that we followed the approach to using " Resource loader delegate " to pass cookie as a header value .
What I notice is that the playlist file (.m3u8) gets downloaded correctly. Then video file (.m4a) some chunks also gets downloaded. I know that the .ts file is downloaded because I can see the GET request completing on the web server with status 200. I also set a breakpoint at the following line:
loadingRequest.dataRequest?.respond(with: data)
immediately got error from avplayer status as
"The operation could not be completed. An unknown error occurred (-12881) From core media"
Need confirmation on why I am unable to load HLS using resource loader.
is it possible to update cookie value while paying continuously on avplayer.
