Allow ad durations to be ignored

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Reported by Ingo:

- Durations are incorrect at times in the VAST response. Allow an option to 
ensure that the 
durations can be ignored and loaded by the player. 

- Also, for some reason, on the following template, the duration is being 
registered as 0

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Increased priority

Original comment by paul.sch...@gmail.com on 19 Feb 2010 at 11:49

• Added labels: Priority-Critical, Product-VASTAS2FW, VAST
• Removed labels: Priority-Medium

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The issue here is that the duration is not of the format hh:mm:ss - that's the 
compliant way to specify the 
duration - a check has been added to the parsing code to check the format - if 
it's not compliant, it will fallback 
to the assumption it's just seconds and convert to the right format

Done - the following config item has been added:

"ignoreDuration": true

To ensure that VAST durations are ignored.

Also added conversion code so that a duration with seconds in it will be 
converted to a timestamp format.

Done - in the next FP OAS release (0.5.0)
