DASH JS v2.9.2 low latency macro blocking due to segment caching. PIP- Auto test failures. Player stalls on pressing play after exhausting buffer when paused.	Change in meaning of currentTime() and duration() APIs. With this release the meaning of the values returned by the currentTime() and duration() APIs have changed. Previously for live streams, duration() returned a value reflecting the depth of the timeshift buffer in seconds and currentTime() returned values between zero and duration(), reflecting the current position within the buffer and allowing for seeking within the same range. The seekable() range provided a constant lower bound of zero and a large integer. From now on, for live streams duration() will return Infinity; seekable() continues to provide the valid bounds for currentTime() therefore describing a range reflecting the timeshift buffer depth but this is now a rolling window where zero is the point of joining the stream. New reset() API With this release, a new API is available and recommended to ensure resources are freed and a fresh setup is prepared before every playback. The sample application has a Stop button which demonstrates this with a call to playerInstance.reset().
