Reading from the docs ( https://developer.android.com/media/media3/exoplayer/live-streaming ),
I see that livestreams are divided into 2 categories:

• adaptive (example: hls)

• progressive (example: aac, ogg, mp3)

From my understanding, the adaptive is the relative "new kid" on the block, offering that live window seek functionality and that awesome wave visual effect.

Call me old-fashioned, but I just hate seeing a seekable timeline on a LIVE audio stream.
It rubs me the wrong way.
In my opinion, it should only be on audio that is finished (a file). Less confusion.

So my question is - is it possible to play an HLS stream, but WITHOUT that live window?
To make it look like it is a progressive livestream?
(I mean I know it can be because one of my old apps can do it, but it was not built with "media3")
