Note: To make it clear. I do not want to download the file and only then play it. So, given the simple cache mechanism that the API of ExoPlayer supports, my current questions are: If a file was cached, how can I use it in a safe manner? If a file was partially cached meaning we've downloaded a part of it , how can I continue preparing it without actually playing it or waiting for the whole playback to finish till I can use it in a safe manner of course?
