Integration google Ima SDK and IMA DAI SDK at the same time

I want to create an ios application that will consist of a video player and its ability to show IMA DAI ads and IMA ads.

After going through the documentation of both types

I was able to play each alone, what I am trying to achieve is to show both ADS (IMA DAI ads and IMA ads) on the same Player.

What I am currently doing is the following: Loading the IMA ads and once the ads are done I am stopping it then hide the player and load the DAI ads with a different player.

But it is taking time to load and I am not sure it is the right way to do it, is there any other solution that could be done?

Thanks

According to the the documentation, both respond to different use case :

  • IMA client-side SDK : you handle your player yourself (it only brings the adserver abilities)

With IMA client-side SDKs, you maintain control of content video playback, while the SDK handles ad playback. Ads play in a separate video player positioned on top of the app's content video player.

  • IMA DAI SDK : you look for a complete solution from Google (handling both player and adserver)

With IMA DAI SDKs, apps make a stream request for ad and content video—either VOD or live content. The SDK then returns a combined video stream, so that you don't have to manage switching between ad and content video within your app.

I am afraid you will have to make a choice. And if you look for a wider demand, you might want to choose the DAI one (here again).
