How to make player resume from the newest frame?

Question

I use ijkplayer to play the live video in my ios app.

Here is the code for player initialization

    let options = IJKFFOptions.byDefault()
    let streamUrl:String = "http://xxxxxxxxx.com/test/7777.flv"
    let player = IJKFFMoviePlayerController(contentURLString: streamUrl, with: options)
    let autoresize = UIViewAutoresizing.flexibleWidth.rawValue | UIViewAutoresizing.flexibleHeight.rawValue
    player?.view.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizing(rawValue: autoresize)
    player?.view.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 1, height: 1)
    let gesture = UITapGestureRecognizer(target: self, action: #selector(self.compressExpand(_:)))
    player?.view.addGestureRecognizer(gesture)
    player?.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.black
    player?.scalingMode = .aspectFit
    player?.shouldAutoplay = false
    self.player = player
    self.player.shouldShowHudView = true
    self.player.setPlayerOptionIntValue(1000, forKey: "max_cached_duration")

The issue is I use player.pause() to resume the player for some time. Then I use player.play() to resume playing. Live video then playing from the frame where paused, what I want is to resume the video from the latest or newest frame.

You can release the player, and initiate it again. This should play the demo from the latest frame. This may be not the best solution.
