Need someone to fix my chromecast enabled app to support "pre roll ads" i.e. VEVO videos, ads etc. My android and IOS apps are using ytplayer and the youtube API V3 but fails when trying to cast certain content, specifically content with pre-roll / flash ads. The video title and thumbnail loads on my TV, but the video never actually plays.
Good news is that I have found a similar app like mine in the gogle playstore and it works fine. It appears they are using a different player (JWPLAYER), they may be sending two requests for the sample video:
Here is what I think they are doing:
step 1. load video ID 1
step 2. check for ads (if ad exists, play ad. then go to step 3. If not ad.. go to step 3
step 3. load same video again (2nd request)
here is article about it:

Jwplayer supports flash content but not 100% sure this is the solution:

My current app is using YTplayer and built entirely with android studio. If you have experience with building chromecast supported apps and have an idea for a solution via ytplayer or changing my app player to use JWPLAYER, please respond.
Thank you
