Special Use Cases

TVSDK favors custom range settings over standard ad settings. For example, if MARK ranges are defined, the ad’s insertion settings are ignored. If REPLACE ranges are defined, TVSDK automatically uses the CustomRanges signaling mode.

ReplaceRange without replacement duration

If the replacement duration is missing, the actual replacement duration is determined by the server. The number of ads placed in this AdBreak is also determined by the server.
