The thing with the ads doesn't happen for me though. Between the episodes on PlutoTV the browser / app would serve individual ads. But the video stream itself only has some synthwave style PlutoTV logo playing during that time.
- jccalhoun 4y agoIt depends on the "channel" and the time. I get the logo playing a lot watching through the official app on my tv.
- duskwuff 4y agoThe logo is probably a backfill for when Pluto fails to select an ad to run.
- mikeryan 4y agoThis is the complaint from Plutos perspective. They are likely using client side ad insertion to serve targeted ads. There’s a separate VAST ad manifest which likely goes with the m3u8 url that has all the ad load and beacon data. This doesn’t happen in an alternative client. Note they could also be doing server side ads which replaces the individual video segments but there’s limitations there. Most streamers are still focused on client side ad insertion
