Display ad markers when using the Leanback UI via ExoPlayer's Leanback extension

[SakthivelMuruganS]

I want to display markers for ads in Exoplayer using the Leanback Adapter and Glue.
I've used Player Adapter & PlaybackTransportControlGlue (androidx.leanback.media) to stream the content. I'm able to load ads using Ima ads Loader in the video but I want to show the ad marker in lean-back seek bar like Exo player default time bar for different types of ad roll (pre-roll, mid-roll & post-roll).

I don't think the leanback library supports ad markers (else there would be a way to expose them here). So I think your options are to file a feature request here, or build your own player controls UI instead.

If you do file a feature request, please let us know (by replying here). I'd be interested to follow/nudge it along, since this seems like a fairly basic shortcoming of the leanback UI.

Marking this as "needs for information", because you'll need to file a feature request on the leanback library asking them to support ad markers. Without that, this issue is blocked on a feature request in another library that no one has requested.

Please respond here with a link to the leanback feature request if you make one. Else this issue will be automatically closed.

I've filed a feature request and please find the feature request link in below
#6789

Kindly let us know the update on this.
Thank you.

You need to file a feature request on the Leanback Library, not on ExoPlayer. As in my initial response, you should do this here.

Can you tell me what is the component in feature request option??
