How to obtain programmatically video type - Live or DVR

[AlexDundar]

I use the last version of ExoPlayer (2.10.0) in my Android app. And I want to play different video types (VOD, LIVE, DVR) with different videoplayer interface. For example, I want to show DefaultTimeBar on ExoPlayer controlls in VOD and DVR videos and I want to hide this view when video is LIVE.

All videos play well, but I dont know, how to check programmatically the type of video. I was looking for information and found that I can use flags isCurrentWindowDynamic and isCurrentWindowSeekable of SimpleExoPlayer object. But when I show them in logs, I see the next:

1. VOD video, url ="https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/CastVideos/hls/GoogleIO-2014-CastingToTheFuture.m3u8"

videoPlayer?.isCurrentWindowDynamic // returns false
videoPlayer?.isCurrentWindowSeekable // returns true

2. DVR video, url = "https://svs.itworkscdn.net/lanatvlive/lana/playlist.m3u8?DVR"

videoPlayer?.isCurrentWindowDynamic // returns true
videoPlayer?.isCurrentWindowSeekable // returns true

3. LIVE video, url = "https://live-k2301-kbp.1plus1.video/189931/smil:189931.smil/playlist.m3u8"

videoPlayer?.isCurrentWindowDynamic // returns true
videoPlayer?.isCurrentWindowSeekable // returns true

Both flags in DVR and LIVE are the same. So, how to distinguish the type DVR or LIVE programmatically?

Nobody knows?

That's a duplicate of #2668. We don't have this flag currently and you can only guess based on the other flags. Note though, that our implementation will still include some guesswork because their is often not a clear-cut boundary between live and on-demand (think about an ended live stream for example).
