ExoPlayer's traditional HLS preparation works by loading a chunk from each track
group, and then tries to use the sample information plus the master playlist
information to generate the preparation's resulting TrackGroups.
There are 3 possible scenarios:
- Supported case: Each variant has a single codec string per track type. We can
assign each track the codec string which matches the loaded sample's type.
- Supported case: Each variant has more than one codec string, but each track
group has a single track. This is the case when different languages use
different codecs. In this case, we can assign whichever codec matches the
loaded sample's mime type.
- Unsupported case: Each variant has more than one codec string, and track
groups contain more than one track. We are not able to safely map tracks to
codec strings because that would require loading a chunk from each track
(which would considerably delay preparation).
