MediaElement Android ExoPlayer Caching

[andos716]

I have a use case where I am playing a short mp4 video (10seconds 0.5MB) from a blob storage in a MediaElement with ShouldLoopPlayback="true". Inspecting the traffic, it appears that on iOS the file is cached and only fetched once whereas on Android it appears that the file is NOT cached and fetched for each loop. Can someone confirm that this is the current expected behaviour? If this is the case are there any plans on implementing cache for Android or does anyone have a workaround for this?

Might I also suggest that it would be good to add to the documentation that the behaviour differs between the platforms (if this is true).
