I think this is caused by our call to play before we respond to the \"preroll?\" event. The player starts loading the content, then we tell it that we have a pre-roll, then it plays the pre-roll. Is there a way to arrive at the \"adstart\" event without calling play on the player so we can avoid loading the content until after the pre-roll plays?"}}
