For LL-HLS, the non-primary playlists originally keep reloading even after the primary playlist has been changed to another one. The reason being this is to check if the hinted(#EXT-X-PRELOAD-HINT) resource has been published or removed. If removed, the loading of it should be canceled, per the suggestion in the HLS spec:
"A Client SHOULD cancel a request for a hinted resource if it is not present in a subsequent Playlist update, such as in an EXT-X-PRELOAD-HINT tag or as part of another tag such as EXT-X-PART. The client SHOULD ignore the results of such requests."
However, keeping the non-primary playlists reloading is not optimal. As a solution, we trigger the playlist reloading only when there is a preload chunk loading instead of every time after we have processed the playlist. Compared to the original implementation, this will save the requests of reloading non-primary playlist after we have taken action upon the preload chunk being published or removed.
