Use the default playback behavior

You can choose to use default ad behaviors.

1. To use default behaviors, complete one of the following tasks:

   • If you implement your own AdvertisingFactory class, return null for createAdPolicySelector.

   • If you do not have a custom implementation for the AdvertisingFactory class, TVSDK uses a default ad policy selector.

Set up customized playback

You can customize or override ad behaviors.

Before you can customize or override ad behaviors, register the ad policy instance with .
To customize ad behaviors, do one of the following:

• Implement the AdPolicySelector interface and all its methods.

  This option is recommended if you need to override all the default ad behaviors.

• Extend the DefaultAdPolicySelector class and provide implementations for only those behaviors that require customization.

  This option is recommended if you need to override only some of the default behaviors.

To customize ad behaviors:

1. Implement the AdPolicySelector interface and all of its methods.

2. Assign the policy instance to be used by TVSDK through the advertising factory.

   NOTE

   class CustomContentFactory extends ContentFactory {
   …
   @Override
   public AdPolicySelector retrieveAdPolicySelector>>(MediaPlayerItem mediaPlayerItem) {
   return new CustomAdPolicySelector(mediaPlayerItem);
   }
   …
   }
   // register the custom content factory with media player
   MediaPlayerItemConfig config = new MediaPlayerItemConfig();
   config.setAdvertisingFactory(new CustomContentFactory());
   // this config will should be later passed while loading >the resource
   mediaPlayer.replaceCurrentResource(resource, config);

3. Implement your customizations.
