different pre-roll videos
I work for a media company who is looking to start their own ROKU channel.
We produce our own content, and are looking to do community biased programming with local advertisements that we would produce in-house. I have the channel frame work designed using the videoplayer example, and i have read the blog article on pre-roll video, but it did not answer all of my questions. I have also looked through every post on this forum, and have not found the answers i am looking for.
I am trying to find a way to have two types of pre-roll, one for when a company sponsors a show, and one to show random ads from our advertisers.
I need this to be as easy to change as the XML files are.
Thanks for the help!

Re: different pre-roll videos
Well, you could add a field to your XML for any sponsored show, like
so if it is sponsored, the preroll would be the correct sponsor, otherwise:
