The possibility to add IAB Ads support
I propose a multi-streaming playlist feature of XBMC, to be able to play commercial Ads during the video playing. The reason I ask is the commercial sponsorship will encourage more high quality content to be available to XBMC media platform from content providers. So far the XBMC's content discussion is still quite a gray area. You know what I mean ;-) When the content providers are able to monetize from the their content, As XBMC member we can watch these blockbusters for free! Everybody happy.
Support Digital Video Multiple Ad Playlist (VMAP) protocol maybe a standard way to add commercial play list to the content video, and the content providers can define the time slot and source of the advertisements.
There are other two standards may play with the VMAP,
Digital Video Player-Ad Interface Definition (VPAID) and
Digital Video Ad Serving Template (VAST)
Looks like the XBMC video player need to implement sort of advanced playlist feature, when play the main video in the foreground, at some time buffering some ad video in the background gradually , when certain time slot arrived, just do a video switch between the main video and ad videos.
Any idea for this one? What's is the main issue to implement a multi-streaming from the XBMC Devs' point of view?
