+  * Play out existing buffer before retrying for progressive live streams

 * Add `ExoPlayer.setSeekParameters` for controlling how seek operations are
   performed. The `SeekParameters` class contains defaults for exact seeking and
   seeking to the closest sync points before, either side or after specified seek
