Live stream playback starting slowly after preroll #973

Closed jankrueger closed 3 years ago

jankrueger commented 3 years ago

Hi everyone,

when using this library to playback a preroll on a hls live stream it feels like the actual stream content is starting really slowly after the preroll ends. IIRC there was an option to keep the content running "behind" the ad but i can't find it anymore. Is there anything we can do to reduce the gap between ad and content playback starting?

Hello @jankrueger ,

Currently this plugin is not optimized for hls live stream prefetch. I would recommend looking into an implementation that does not use the videoJS-IMA plugin. You can look to the live stream prefetch example here.

Let me know if you have any questions. I can also plan on looking into adding this to the plugin, but currently it would not be highly prioritized from the IMA team.

Thank you, Jackson IMA SDK Team
