Can't control live DASH stream download duration (Exoplayer offline features)

[kvillnv]

Hi,
I am working with the latest commits from dev-v2, my device runs Nougat.
I have no errors in my logs and no bugs.
I've been working for a while on Exoplayer with live streams playback (DASH with DRM Widevine encryption).

Now I am working on downloading live stream.
I was able to successfully download with DashDownloader and play my file with a DrmSession, but the problem is that the downloaded content is always 59sec. (and the Downloader.ProgressListener went up to 100%)
-I suppose it just downloads the segments from the cached manifest or buffered stream.
-I can not set any parameters about duration.
-I tried using ProgressiveDownloader as well, (it seems this class is not finished) and I am having the same result, except that the ProgressListener is not accurate.
-(the download output is a lot of small *.exo files and one *.exi)

I started by following the example:

SimpleCache cache = new SimpleCache(mediaFolder, new NoOpCacheEvictor()); DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory factory = new DefaultHttpDataSourceFactory(userAgent); DownloaderConstructorHelper constructorHelper = new DownloaderConstructorHelper(cache, factory); DashDownloader dashDownloader = new DashDownloader(uri, constructorHelper); //dashDownloader.selectRepresentations(new RepresentationKey[] {new RepresentationKey(0, 0, 0)}); dashDownloader.download(new ProgressListener() { {@literal @}Override public void onDownloadProgress(Downloader downloader, float downloadPercentage, long downloadedBytes) { // Here I just Log the progression } });

I didn't use the dashDownload.selectRepresentations()

Of course my source is fine: if I play the Live Dash Uri in Exoplayer, it never stops.

Did anybody have success trying to keep downloading a live stream for an undefined time and manually stop it? or set a download duration? or maybe manage to set the Downloader do relaunch for each buffered data?

Or could you give me a hint on what objects and methods I should be using?
And why using SimpleCache?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

(By the way I have another question, it is about the DownloadManager: I was not able to use it, I think my issue is with the Deserializer, How should I initialize it? Can you show me an example)

We do not support downloading live streams, so if you want this functionality you'd currently need to build it yourself, I'm afraid. Supporting this use case is tracked by #3877.
