Description
With the update from Exoplayer 2 to MediaPlayer 3, the ability to manually show midrolls is no longer available. This is what Google IMA Support says:
The media3 version of the ExoPlayer-IMA extension does not support manual ad playback. Specifically, the extension does not expose the AdsManager to call AdsManager.start(), which is needed for manual ad playback.
We need this feature in order to serve them during video consumption.
Regards.
