Enumeration ImaPassthroughMode

Ad tags will be downloaded by the Player in order to provide advanced features like preloading ad tags and VAST 4.1 AdVerifications parsing.

VAST tags will be downloaded by the IMA SDK, which will deactivate some features that are available with None:

• preloadOffset will not work
• manifest and verifications will not be available
• downloadTiming will not be as accurate (higher)

In addition to Vast, VMAP tags will also be downloaded by the IMA SDK. This will lead to the Advertising API being severely limited for VMAP tags:

• Ad breaks will not be reflected via list
• discardAdBreak will not be supported
• downloadTiming will not be supported
• VMAP tracking will not work
• VAST ad tags can not be scheduled anymore after a VMAP tag has sucessfully been loaded by the IMA SDK
• Consistent event order can not be guaranteed

This mode should only be used if absolutely necessary.
