The Bitmovin Player iOS SDK now supports HLS Interstitials. Starting from version 3.92.0, it is possible to schedule ads directly in the HLS manifest using the EXT-X-DATERANGE tag.

How to play an Interstitial

Interstitials are seamlessly integrated with our advertising system. No extra configuration needed, just load the HLS source as usual:

let hlsSource = SourceConfig(url: hlsUrlWithInterstitials, type: .hls)
player.load(sourceConfig: hlsSource)
