[Android TV]Why is the focus on the whole video player

Hi,

I have examined the sample applications on both our DAI and the client side and found that neither is displaying any focus by default.

Would you be able to confirm if you have reproduced the same behavior using our DAI and the client side Google sample application? 

You can prevent the video player from receiving focus by setting the focusable property of the VideoView or PlayerView to false. This way, the video player will not be focusable.

After doing the above, if you are still encountering the issue, please confirm what SDK platform (please refer here) and SDK version you were using in encountering the reported behavior? Kindly share the following so we could investigate further:

• Sample project implementation where the issue is reproducible (it could be derived from one of our  DAI and client side sample application with minimum modification to fit your use case)
• Stream deatils used in testing
• Screen recording of the behavior for better illustration of the issue

Hi,
AdDisplayContainer is necessary to correctly position the containerElement in order for the ads to be displayed correctly. It is recommended to position it above the content video player and size it to cover the whole video player.
If you are still encountering the issue, please confirm what SDK platform (please refer here) and SDK version you were using in encountering the reported behavior? Kindly share the following so we could investigate further:

• Stream details used in testing
• Screen recording of the behavior for better illustration of the issue.
