Subscribe to custom tags

TVSDK prepares TimedMetadata objects for subscribed tags each time these objects are encountered in the content manifest.

Before the playback starts, you must subscribe to the tags. To be notified about custom tags in HLS manifests:

  1. Set the custom ad tag names globally by passing an array that contains the custom tags to setSubscribedTags in MediaPlayerItemConfig.

    IMPORTANT

    You must include the # prefix when working with HLS streams.

    For example:

    String[] array = new String[3];
    array[0] = "#EXT-X-ASSET";
    array[1] = "#EXT-X-BLACKOUT";
    array[2] = "#EXT-OATCLS-SCTE35";
    MediaPlayerItemConfig.setSubscribedTags(array);
