Shaka Player supports redundancy and failover in DASH at the segment level. HLS offers the same thing at the playlist level, which might be a bit tough to fit into the current design. Currently, we treat these as separate tracks.

If it's feasible to map this to segment-level redundancy (multiple URIs per segment reference), we should do that in a minor release. We may be able to match playlists on their bandwidth and resolution.

Otherwise, we may need to rethink the internal manifest structure again and support those in our next major release.
