Buffer audio livestream with ExoPlayer

I am using ExoPlayer on Android to play a radio audio livestream. With the standard implementation the livestream stops playing immediately when network connection gets lost.

ExoPlayer State: STARTED -> connection gets lost -> immediately BUFFERING -> after 2-3 sec. IDLE

Is it possible to buffer the radio livestream so if there is no internet connection that the stream continues playing for a few sekonds until the network connection is back. The music app Tunein has this feature. Is this possible with ExoPlayer or how is it possible?

Yes it is possible now, use ExoPlayer 2.7.0 which has this functionality. Refer to this issue: Seeking in radio streams

in this last few comments in this post it is mentioned. Hope it helps.

For 2.x , Buffer size can be modified using LoadControl:

    DefaultLoadControl loadControl = new DefaultLoadControl(allocator, 30000,
 45000, 1500, DEFAULT_BUFFER_FOR_PLAYBACK_AFTER_REBUFFER_MS);

Official docs

Update: But ExoPlayer has one issue: Audio stream moved to buffering state immediately on disconnection of internet which is scheduled to be fixed by end of year (or shortly thereafter) as developer said
