Can you explain in more detail - e.g. what ad server are you using?
And what do you mean by "is fetching all the ads at time of preroll gets loaded which delays the video for long time" - do you have them playing correctly later at the right spots as mid-rolls and post-roll - or do you mean everything plays as pre-roll?
Also how many ads are we talking about as a number?

we are using DFP ad server ..all the ads(including  midrolls and postrolls) are fetched at the start of main video due to which video playback has some latency ....but mid -rolls and post-rolls are rendered at their predefined time..i want to minimise the the playback latency ..how can i do that ?

What is your setup in more detail? Are you using Roku Direct Publisher?
