[REQUIRED] Question

How do i make exoplayer play already cached content if the URI has changed. The URI of the content in our app changes everytime the tracks are fetched and this causes the cached content to recached since i believe the uri is the identifier as i noticed that while implementing download feature.

Is there a way out of this or a solution.

links to the Different Uri which points to the same file has been emailed with issue #6046

After several iterations and thoughts i noticed since it was an HLS file every segment requires it own key. Passing the same key used for downloading the file for the segments (which was what was happening earlier when i tried to set my custom cacheKey) made it loop on buffering.

I was able to solve this by making different keys for all the Segments as they had their own URI’s

My issue is that the player doesnt play the item, its stuck in Buffering mode, thats the last state thats Logged.

I expect when i used a custom cachekey, the player plays the song
