With live streaming, shaka keeps refreshing previous manifest

[aletorrado]

After switching between different live streaming manifests using player.load('manifest.mpd'), shaka keeps fetching previous manifests indefinitely.

It could be a caching issue. What exact sequence of events are you following? E.g.,

1. player.load('manifest.mpd');
2. Pause video
3. Change manifest.mpd
4. player.load('manifest.mpd'); ?
   Does disabling the browser's cache work? (Network tab in Developer tools.)

Or do you mean that after calling player.load('manifest1.mpd') and then player.load('manifest2.mpd'), Shaka keeps fetching manifest1.mpd?

Ok I got it. It's happening because on every player.load call, I'm doing this:

player.configure({
    abr: { manager: new shaka.abr.SimpleAbrManager() }
});

Now I'm doing abr.stop() on the previous abr instance to avoid this problem.

Ah, good catch. I see the problem in player.js now.

@aletorrado This should be fixed in master now. Please retest and let us know if the fix is working for you.
