HI,
Have a cuepoint of VMAP adResponse and set it.This Adpod has 3 ads, some ties all three ads are playing and sometimes the first one is playing and for the second Ad, just LOADED event is firing after that it is trying to play next Ad and  LOADED event is firing for that Ad after that works as expected.Sometimes directly firing ALL_ADS_COMPLETED. 

May i know in which scenarios this behavior will be shown by SDK?  I am using Videoview to play the ads.

I have three ads in the cuepoint and the corresponding events as below.But i can saw in charles web proxy the all three ads are getting downloaded.
AD_BREAK_READY
CONTENT_RESUME_REQUESTED
LOADED
CONTENT_PAUSE_REQUESTED
LOG
STARTED
FIRST_QUARTILE
MIDPOINT
THIRD_QUARTILE
COMPLETED
LOADED
CONTENT_RESUME_REQUESTED
ALL_ADS_COMPLETED

sometimes nothing is playing.

AD_BREAK_READY
CONTENT_RESUME_REQUESTED
LOADED
CONTENT_PAUSE_REQUESTED
LOADED
LOG
CONTENT_RESUME_REQUESTED
ALL_ADS_COMPLETED

Hi there,

Sounds like not all ads in the received Ad Pod are loading and the SDK is throwing errors in trying to play it, even though they were being downloaded, as you mentioned. These are considered as Non-Fatal Errors, which are errors that are caught by the SDK and are not severe enough to prevent further ads from playing. The SDK handles these type of errors through the LOG Ad Event, which provides more information of the error on the Ad Data. You can see the LOG Ad Event from the corresponding events that you provided.

You can learn more about these types of errors, as well as how to properly handle them, from this blog post.

Hope this clears up any confusion on your end.

Regards,

Thank you, Joshua,

It seems IMA SDK throwing a nonfatal error.
