Provide ways to avoid projection for live streams in a playlist

See original GitHub issue

I’m using HLS event-playlists. There are always two MediaItem’s in a playlist. I wish to have seamless transition, but sometimes ExoPlayer doesn’t play next item from beginning (it skips around 6-30 seconds and start from this position).

What I do is:

override fun onMediaItemTransition(mediaItem: MediaItem?, reason: Int) {
    if (reason == MEDIA_ITEM_TRANSITION_REASON_AUTO) {
        Log.d(TAG, "position: ${player.getCurrentPosition()}") // <-- NOT ZERO !!!
        player.moveMediaItem(1, 0)
        player.removeMediaItem(1)
        player.addMediaItem(nextMediaItem)
    }
}

Can you help me? Am i doing something wrong?

All of HLS playlists looks the same:
