Shows first frame of content before playing ad

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

We are seeing an issue with the first frame of the video content being shown before the ad starts. We would like to see the ad start before any content is being shown. The way it works now leads to a lot of flickering between states.

I have tried playing around with preload option, but it does change the behaviour.

Our quick fix has been to hide the video element like this, but we would like to see a more smooth solution 😃

.vjs-ad-loading > video {
  opacity: 0;
}

I think we surfaced them because we expected them to be used often, but in retrospect it would have been better to have one and only one place to specify this, which would be contribAdsSettings. Whatever you provide to the contribAdsSettings param will override what you provide in the top-level IMA plugin settings, so you can provide them in either place.
