Android Question Is there a way to adjust certain ExoPlayer buffer values

[JohnC]

On this page:

https://www.akamai.com/blog/performance/enhancing-video-streaming-quality-for-exoplayer-part-2-exoplayers-buffering-strategy-how-to-lower

There are various default buffer values for ExoPlayer:

bufferForPlaybackMs    2500
minBufferMs    15000
maxBufferMs    50000
bufferForPlaybackAfterRebufferMs    5000

Is there a way using JavaObject/Reflection to change these values?

Basically, when I start Exoplayer, the stream doesn't start playing until it reaches that 2500ms default value (bufferForPlaybackMs), but I would like to set this to 1000ms so the stream will start quicker.

Sub CreateNativePlayer As Object
    Dim np As JavaObject
    Dim ctxt As JavaObject
    ctxt.InitializeContext
    Dim renderer, trackSelecter As JavaObject
    renderer.InitializeNewInstance("com.google.android.exoplayer2.DefaultRenderersFactory", Array(ctxt))
    trackSelecter.InitializeNewInstance("com.google.android.exoplayer2.trackselection.DefaultTrackSelector", Array(ctxt))
    Dim LoadControlBuilder As JavaObject
    LoadControlBuilder.InitializeNewInstance("com.google.android.exoplayer2.DefaultLoadControl.Builder", Null)
    Dim bufferForPlaybackMs = 2500, minBufferMs = 15000, maxBufferMs = 50000, bufferForPlaybackAfterRebufferMs = 5000 As Int
    
    LoadControlBuilder.RunMethod("setBufferDurationsMs", Array(minBufferMs, maxBufferMs, bufferForPlaybackMs, bufferForPlaybackAfterRebufferMs))
    np = np.InitializeStatic("com.google.android.exoplayer2.ExoPlayerFactory").RunMethod("newSimpleInstance", _
        Array(ctxt, renderer,trackSelecter, LoadControlBuilder.RunMethod("createDefaultLoadControl", Null)))
    Return np
End Sub

player1.InitializeCustom("player", CreateNativePlayer)

Works great!

Thank you.
