enableGaplessAdPlayback

Enables earlier preloading of ad media to improve transition time into and between ads.

Preloading behavior depends on ad type:

• AdSourceType.Bitmovin ads: preloading starts after the ad manifest is loaded, based on AdItem.preloadOffset

• AdSourceType.Progressive ads: preloading starts at AdItem.preloadOffset

• HLS Interstitials: preloading starts when the main content buffer reaches the ad playback time

Gapless playback is attempted as a best-effort optimization and may still stall in adverse network conditions.

Limitations

• Transitions between consecutive ad breaks scheduled at the same playback time are not yet optimized for gapless playback

• This setting has no effect for AdSourceType.Ima ads

Enabling this may increase memory and network usage.

Default is false.
