Research direction

Start by tracing loadMediaAt and the interstitial preloading flow for the hlsIFramesOnly and primary Hls instances. Verify how an optional integrated or primary timeline is resolved and how both instances share asset results. Done means integrated-timeline I-frame requests work for range-occupying interstitials, while primary remains the default and point-occupancy interstitials load no iframes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Interstitials

Add an optional timeline argument to loadMediaAt which accepts values of "integrated" and "primary" (default), so that hlsIFramesOnly.loadMediaAt(time) can be used relative to an integrated timeline for content with interstitials.

Changes should also ensure that interstitial (pre)loading is handled such that the IFramesOnly and primary (Hls) instances use the same asset results.

Note that interstitials without X-TIMELINE-OCCUPIES=RANGE (POINT occupancy) would not have any iframes loaded.
