Content plays before ad
See original GitHub issueWhen content is played, we have a few milliseconds of the ad play first, before the content.
As much as this should be expected when the prerollTimout has been reached, we already have our timeout set to 1000ms (overkill, but I wanted to see if it fixed the problem).
Content with this issue can be seen here.
I have dug into it and it seems a script pulled in by the imasdk pulls in a Youtube script that isn’t ready for some time after page load. That’s the only lead I have, although it might be a red herring.

I think the issue is a combo - the contrib-ads docs make it look like you must call play on the video player before you can play ads, so that’s what we do. If it takes us a long time to get those ads then the content will start before we get ads playing. The contrib-ads plugin, however, does have some samples that show pre-rolls playing before calling play on the player, so if we can figure out how those work and refactor our plugin to behave the same way we might be able to fix this, though I think that will be a rather large refactor.
This one’s not fixed by 0.8.0 but it will be fixed in 1.0.0, which will be coming before the end of the year. Stay tuned!
