Hi , I have an issue in which the main video loads for 0.5 sec then after the ad will play , I want the functionality in which ima-ad play before the main content. I have use videojs , video-contrib-ad and videojs-ima.

Hello @kashiph001 ,

This is a result of IMA client-side ad playback, where ads are only loaded when requested by the IMA. A work around could be to use CSS to not display the content video player, until a preroll ad has been loaded.

Another alternative, would be to use IMA DAI, which allows for playback of an ad and content stitched stream, so that only a single media source is used.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Thank you, Jackson IMA SDK team
