Downloading media streams sequentially in the background, maintaining a persistent local disk cache, and managing player lifecycles dynamically without memory leaks.
Developed a sequential background download engine that checks the local application cache directory for existing files using unique resource identifiers. If a cache miss occurs, the system utilizes a custom streaming client to pull the video data over HTTP, writing bytes incrementally to disk via an active output stream. Upon completion, the locally cached file path is mapped directly to the exercise record. The media player is initialized using local file controllers, ensuring seamless loop cycles, hardware acceleration, and automatic resource disposal at the end of each session.
