[IMA-SDK Android] When seeking to just before the Midroll ad immediately after the Preroll ad finishes, the expected events are not fired.

[pineapplevine1]

Hi IMA Team

When seeking to just before the Midroll ad immediately after the Preroll ad finishes, the expected events are not fired.
How can this be avoided?

Inquiry Overview
When seeking to just before the Midroll ad immediately after the Preroll ad finishes, the following two issues occur:
・Events from STARTED to COMPLETED are not fired
・The CONTENT_PAUSE_REQUESTED event is fired after the Midroll ad playback ends

Expected Behavior
・Events from STARTED to COMPLETED should be fired
・The CONTENT_PAUSE_REQUESTED event is fired before the Midroll ad playback

Reproduction Steps
1.Play the content
2.Seek to just before the Midroll ad
3.Wait until the Midroll ad playback is completed
4.LOADED and CONTENT_PAUSE_REQUESTED are fired, but events from STARTED to COMPLETED are not fired.
CONTENT_PAUSE_REQUESTED is fired after the Midroll ad playback ends.
