iOS SDK, what to put in initializeWithContentPlayhead if not using AVPlayer?

[Donny Cheng]

Hi Guys,

What should I put to "initializeWithContentPlayhead" if I am not using an AVPlayer?

Currently I put "nil" to it:

[self.adsManager initializeWithContentPlayhead:nil adsRenderingSettings:settings];

but it returns me error:

Error during ad playback: Content playhead was not used, but ad playlist served.(1205, 2)

though it can run normally, but I just want to remove the error.

Thanks

Donny,

I'll check into this and get back to you. What happens if you pass in nil to default to standard rendering settings?

Thanks,

Bret

Hi Bret,

There does not seem to be anything, the app still works perfectly, but there is an error message in the log:

Error during ad playback: Content playhead was not used, but ad playlist served.(1205, 2)

I wonder if it would have some "hidden" abnormal behavior to my app in the future.
Or it is the expected log to be printed when putting nil to it?

I am just wondering.

So I will wait for you to get back to me.

Thanks,

Donny

Donny,

Create a new class that implements IMAContentPlayhead (https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/ios/v3/apis#IMAContentPlayhead) and pass that in to initializeWithContentPlayhead, that should remove the error. Let me know!

Thanks,
