Playback behavior

The behavior of media playback is affected by seeking, pausing, and the inclusion of advertising.

For both live/linear streaming and VOD:

When a user seeks forward past ad breaks, the seek position automatically adjusts to the beginning of the latest ad break before the ending seek position.
When seeking backward, if the seek position is inside an ad break, the seek position adjusts to the beginning of that ad break.

Note: The PSDK does not provide a way to disable seeking; your application must disable it if you want seeking disabled.

For live/linear:

Resuming playback after a pause results in continuing playback with the buffered content at the time of the pause operation. If the resuming position is still within the playback range, the playback should be continuous. Otherwise, the PSDK jumps to the new live point. Also, you can choose a different playback point by performing a seek operation.
The PSDK resolves ads between cues after the position the application enters live playback. The playback begins after the first cue is resolved. The default value for entering live playback is the client live point, but you can choose a different position. All cues before the initial position are resolved after the application performs a seek in the DVR window.
