Please add Ads support using vast to implement pre-roll, mid-roll, etc.
Thank you.

Adding some documentation links which might be helpful for this conversation.

Google's IMA client-side SDKs should be useful (it's also compatible with other VAST-compliant ad servers)
https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads
https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/html5/client-side

There's also a legacy plugin for plyr (last updated 2017) which might be helpful.

Yes, this would be awesome.
One more step towards feature parity with Plyr which supported ads natively: https://github.com/sampotts/plyr?tab=readme-ov-file#ads

There's an open draft PR for IMA integration here. #1046

[shmaltz]

We'll need this before migrating over from Plyr

[JimmyMalark]

[rossanmol]

[CHAOSX0]

As others have already said, I really hope this can be added soon. It’s the last feature needed before my company can start using it.
