When switching/tuning between Live streams, does the AVPlayer use the bitrate/profile of the previous channel/stream or does it re-calculate on the next tune?
Thank you in advance.
AVPlayer behavior (bitrate selection) when tuning between Live streams
There's nothing documented on this, so there's no behavior you can rely on that couldn't change between OS releases. I suspect that information about the previous stream doesn't affect variant selection on a new stream, but historical information about network quality and throughput may affect they initial variant selection.
