ServerSideAdInsertionMediaSource how to show adsOverlay

[moniqueeeeee]

Bug

I am using ServerSideAdInsertionMediaSource and i can't figure out how to show ad overlay instead of player seekbar

also when i reach ad mark, app freezes suddenly and not responded again

please support

adsMediaSource = ServerSideAdInsertionMediaSource(mediaSource, this refer to onadPlaybackStateUpdatedrequest)
player = ExoPlayer.Builder(context).setMediaSourceFactory(DefaultMediaSourceFactory(context))
.build()
player?.addListener(this)
player?.playWhenReady = true
exoPlayerView.player = player
player?.setMediaSource(adsMediaSource!!)
player?.seekTo(playbackPosition)
player?.playWhenReady = playWhenReady
player?.prepare()

// @SuppressLint("UnsafeOptInUsageError")
override fun onAdPlaybackStateUpdateRequested(contentTimeline: Timeline): Boolean {

    val adStatesBuilder = ImmutableMap.builder<Any, AdPlaybackState>()
    (0 until contentTimeline.periodCount).forEach { periodIndex ->
        val uid = contentTimeline.getUidOfPeriod(periodIndex)
        var adPlaybackState = AdPlaybackState(uid, 5 * C.MICROS_PER_SECOND)
            .withAdCount(0,1)
        adPlaybackStateMap.put(contentTimeline.getUidOfPeriod(0),adPlaybackState)
        adsMediaSource?.setAdPlaybackStates(adPlaybackStateMap.build(),
            contentTimeline)
        adStatesBuilder.put(uid,  adPlaybackState) // should be AdPlaybackState.NONE
    }
    adsMediaSource?.setAdPlaybackStates(adStatesBuilder.build(),contentTimeline)

    return true
}

please can you support how to show ads overlay using ServerSideAdInsertionMediaSource , do i need to make custom loader ?

[marcbaechinger]

ServerSideAdInsertionMediaSource doesn't provide such a functionality.

PlayerView has a method getAdViewGroup() that gives you a ViewGroup in which you can insert your own views.
Is this what you are looking for?

@marcbaechinger Thanks marc,

thanks so much

I'd expect you want to get the view group at the beginning with playerView. getAdViewGroup() and then insert your views that you hide until an ad is playing.

You can listen to Player.Listener.onPositionDiscontinuity() to figure out when an ad starts/ends playing.

Thanks so much

can you mention please how to check if ad started or ended in Player.Listener.onPositionDiscontinuity()

one more question please , is there any way to track (ad) in adGroup , if i have 3 ads in adgroup is there any way to track if ad is started or ended

@marcbaechinger
playbackState =
playbackState?.withNewAdGroup(index, adBreakGroup.timeOffsetUs)
?.withAdCount(index, 1)
?.withAdDurationsUs(index,
adBreakGroup.totalGroupDuration)
?.withIsServerSideInserted(/* adGroupIndex= */ index, true)

i have 3 ads in ad group whenever i change 1 to 3 app crash
