Users of ExoPlayer, an extensible, open-source media player for Android, can now
easily integrate with the IMA SDK using the new ExoPlayer IMA extension . The IMA
extension, released alongside ExoPlayer 2.5, wraps the IMA SDK for Android and
provides seamless ad playback.
The extension ensures that ads are integrated into ExoPlayer's video timeline,
and UI components are ad-aware. It also reduces buffering by eliminating the
need to swap out and rebuffer the video player's source when transitioning
between ads and content.
You can find more details on the extension in ExoPlayer's
blog post on Medium , and find the extension on GitHub .
If you have any questions or issues, please file them on ExoPlayer's issue tracker .
