Description

More version details
We have recently migrated to media3 version 1.1.1 and found that IMA ads are not getting played. After looking at the logcat we got below exception in IMA sdk. Can you help us in finding out what can cause this exception.

We are creating ad tag xml ourselves and giving it to the sdk. Before migrating to media3 it was working fine. Below is the sample xml/tag that we are using.
<vmap:VMAP xmlns:vmap="http://www.iab.net/videosuite/vmap" version="1.0">
<vmap:AdBreak timeOffset="start" breakType="linear" breakId="preroll">
<vmap:AdSource id="preroll-ad-1" allowMultipleAds="false" followRedirects="true">
<vmap:AdTagURI templateType="vast3"><![CDATA[https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?slotname=/124319096/external/ad_rule_samples&sz=640x480&ciu_szs=300x250&cust_params=sar%3Da0f2&url=https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/html5/tags&unviewed_position_start=1&output=xml_vast3&impl=s&env=vp&gdfp_req=1&ad_rule=0&vad_type=linear&vpos=preroll&pod=1&ppos=1&lip=true&min_ad_duration=0&max_ad_duration=30000&sarid=4576&sf=2&sfu=vid&vrid=4576&npa=false&kfa=0&tfcd=0]]></vmap:AdTagURI>
