Hi Suresh,

The IMA SDK doesn't fully support Tizen, Contact your account manager to learn more about Samsung (Tizen) support.

Hi,

We are experiencing the same issue.

With the version 3.701.0 released on June 11th, IMA HTML5 SDK stopped working on very old browser versions. We investigated the issue and error is caused by usupported API DOMRect

This issue has significant impact on us, because old browsers represent majority of our traffic.

Attached is a screenshot of this error in the IMA HTML5 Video Suite Inspector that displays the error happening inside the IMA SDK javascript:
SCRIPT5009: 'DOMRect' is not defined ima3_debug.is (771,81)

For the reference, similar issue happened in the past and the IMA SDK team did revert the changes. In this case it's a similar situation of using the DOM APIs which are not supported in the old web browser environments.
Here's the link to the mentioned issue: https://groups.google.com/g/ima-sdk/c/t6grwkTMj5w

Best,
Nejc

Hi, is there any update? This is a major issue that affects (at least):
- LG WebOS 2019 and older
- Samsung Tizen 2018 and older
- Xbox One / Series

These are relatively up-to-date platforms that are still widely distributed, so a timely fix would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Felix
