Replace current playing track in queue

[russriser]

Hiya, I'm working on a problem and would like to know the best way to go about it, as I can think of several ways to do what I want.

I have loaded a playlist of tracks into the queue that should play one-after-the-other if not interrupted by the user. However each track has multiple variants that the user should be able to switch to. If a user starts a track, say a "Guided Meditation," and then selects a track variant e.g. "with music" I believe I need to replace the currently playing audio track in the queue with the new variant, then start playing that new track.

I've tried the following

      await TrackPlayer.remove(trackIndex);
      await TrackPlayer.add(
        {
          url: trackVariant.url,
          title: currentTrack.title,
          album: currentPlaylist.title,
        },
        trackIndex
      );
      await TrackPlayer.play();

However the audio doesn't actually switch, it continues playing the old variant. I've tried adding a skipToPrevious() followed by a skipToNext() but this didn't work either.

Do I need to do a reset() in order for this to work? I am trying to avoid this.
