Pseudo-Interstitials: Playback flexibility for legacy devices
summary
Explains a technique called Pseudo-Interstitials that lets operators insert content (especially ads) into playback on legacy devices that lack modern interstitial/XLink support. Covers the problems with inconsistent support across HLS (historical Apple delays) and DASH, then details a multidisciplinary solution involving encoding strategies, manifest manipulation, Edge Computing, and SSAI constraints to enable late binding on older protocol versions.
