Tuning Player Buffer

Eric Tang
I would like to be able to tune the player buffer, so I can control for network irregularity. A few examples:
- As a conference live streamer, I want to have higher buffer in the player (30-40s) because latency doesn't matter as much, and the internet connection at the venue is always a challenge.
- As a global social live streaming site, I want to have a higher player buffer for users in locations that have bad internet infrastructure, and a lower player buffer for users in locations that have good internet infrastructure.

Thanks! One piece of feedback - can we add a few common use cases in the Livepeer doc so users can find it via search using keywords? Something like “you can tune the player behavior like edge of live delay, retry logic, and rendition picking”

Eric Tang you should be able to do this today by passing
hlsConfig
as a param to the player. It's undocumented at the moment, though.cc Chase Adams to confirm (and possibly add to the docs?)
