[iOS 10] Cannot reset ads on iOS
See original GitHub issueWe utilize Iris.tv for one our clients. It allows a user to skip to a new video (provided by their api in chunks of 5 videos), like or dislike a video, etc.
When a video switch happens, the video source is changed, and we do another call to ads. On Desktop and Android, this works perfectly fine. On iOS 10 (Safari), this fails. It draws a black div and hides the player, and does nothing. It makes no network calls to any ad server, and doesn’t appear to do anything. I have an ad events plugin that acknowledges a timeout (a custom timeout on our end), so I know the ads plugin is triggering.
Is there a way to switch out ads in iOS that maybe I’m not seeing? I currently just call player.ima(options) again and that works on Android and iOS.

Sweet, glad it’s working!
Confirmed- works with 5.1.3.
Not sure yet if there’s any clashes with the upgrade but simple pre-rolls worked with:
videojs: 5.2.8 videojs-contrib-ads: 5.1.3 videojs-ima: 0.6.0
As far as i’m concerned this issue can be closed as it was regarding subsequent prerolls only, but that’s your call. Thanks for the help @shawnbuso!
