Not sure who to report this to, but the Purina ad returned by RAF is screwed up:

duration         15 
companionads    
streamformat    mp4
adid            267157
streams         <Component: roAssociativeArray>
<Component: roAssociativeArray>
<Component: roAssociativeArray>

creativeid      511579
adtitle         Purina_Q1_16_Video_Ad_Deal

The streams URLs are missing:

BrightScript Debugger> ?ad.streams[0]
provider:

bitrate:  736
height:  360
url: h
mimetype: video/mp4

BrightScript Debugger> ?ad.streams[1]

BrightScript Debugger> ?ad.streams[2]
provider: 
width:  1280
bitrate:  3072

showAds barfs with a bunch of those "may or may not be a real error" messages 😉 :

RAF 1.5; rendering preroll pod of 1 ads
BRIGHTSCRIPT: ERROR: Runtime: FOR EACH value is Invalid: roku_ads_lib:/Roku_Ads.brs(2729)

I noticed the same behavior starting yesterday. It's not just the Purina ad. I also saw it on "SMWFTX30H_ABC_30s_creupdate" and several others. It looks like it may be fixed now, though, as the Purina ad specifically now includes valid MediaFiles.
