@andrewlewis Any updates???

Any updates on this?

Please see the latest comment on #5006. There's a new IMA SDK preloading API in the process of being launched, and once that's available we can integrate it into the IMA extension. I think it's very likely that will fix this if the problem relates to callbacks from IMA.

After 793f12d playback shouldn't get stuck if we fail to preload an ad, and fa7d26d may have fixed the underlying problem. Please could you try to reproduce using the dev-v2 branch and let us know whether you are still seeing issues?

Closing due to inactivity and the fact that this is most likely fixed.
