Is it possible to know if the AVPlayerItem buffer has stopped buffering and won't resume

I implemented KVO for PlayLiciousToKeepUp and PlayBufferEmpty, and also added a watcher to notify AVPlayerItemPlaybackStalledNotification.

I use Buffer Empty and Keep up events to show / hide the buffering activity indicator, and if I get a playback block notification, I show an error message above the player until I get a Keep Up event to return true; I've noticed that sometimes after the stall, the buffer won't try to resume playback. Also, searching for this game will solve this problem.

Is there a way for the player to automatically save buffering, or to tell me if the buffer is completely stopped and won't keep trying to play?

I have annotated the logs to show this functionality.
