Yes. It's possible. It's called SSAI. Server side ad Insertion. Hotstar also does same.

I am watching ipl simultaneously on my laptop and phone in the same language. In the break the ads shown on different devices are different.  Does this happen normally?

Showing 3 ads every 10 mins to users who have paid for subscriptions is silly and stupid. They are running out of ideas and happy to see Hotstar content moving to JioCinemas. Put an end to this nonsense

A speacial place in hell for Hotstar

what if i tell you there is a way to get rid of those ads

Do ads during IPL matches on JioCinema feel annoying or is it ok, no big deal ?

A masterful stroke by Jio. If the 29/month gives access to all the amazing HBO content that only they have access to, that's incredible value.

Classic Jio move : First get them addicted, then check their pockets.

I know JIO Cinema has a great engineering team and lots of money but i really don't like the product. UI feels cluttered, livestream also feels pixalated anyone else feels the same. I really liked hotstar honestly and i was expecting jiocinema would be same as the tech team is pretty much same.

JIO Cinema hot take.

Hey @championswimmer

I use hotstar, Netflix, Sony LIV and Prime as premium user and all of them are doing great.

Only #jiocinema looks like lagging.

Apart from crashes and memes, few honest feedbacks and suggestions.

1. FHD or HD also looks like 480p on JioCinema app.

2. Concurrent user during live sports instead of total viewers

3. Ad experience is very bad even as premium user, that's a complaint for star and Amazon also. I dunno y

4. Recommendation engine isn't strong like peers.

Guys u can also add ur issues below.

Hope u take these feedbacks positively and do a freestyle lap inorder to fix these butterfly kinda issues.

Why is Hotstar sending notifications of match while I am watching the match

Hotstar manged 6-7cr users.
Jio or sports 18 group can't manage even 2cr users.

they should poach hotstar team or get AWS services...

There should be penalty for ruining experience of consumers.

Reliance group Jio Cinema failed big-time.

Zepto Bumrah vs Cyclone ad starkly contrasts with the campaign’s other efforts, which have been witty, innovative, and engaging. 

In a misdelivery in an otherwise spot-on campaign, the Zepto Bumrah vs Cyclone ad, while aiming to highlight the speed of Zepto’s delivery service, overlooked a crucial aspect – the sensitivity required when referencing natural disasters. This metaphor is tone-deaf, especially considering India’s traumatic history with cyclones.

Did anyone else have similar thoughts during the world Cup ad breaks?

Shamelessly plugging my post where you can see the ad instead of just the ad - https://talesofss.com/zepto-bumrah-vs-cyclone-ad-is-rushed/

Zepto Bumrah vs Cyclone Ad is Rushed

Founder

A friend built this extension, sharing on their behalf 

Description: This extension automatically mutes the volume when ads appear during IPL matches. Also it puts a dark layover over the video player when the ads are playing. You can disable the layover from the extension popup if you don't want it to appear. Please refresh the JioCinema page, after adding/enabling the extension.


Because of some technical issues it isn't deployed it to the chrome web store. Until that's sorted out, there is an alternate way to add the extension to browser:


Instructions to install:

If you have the GitHub account, read the instructions here:
https://github.com/sivunq/mute-jiocinema-IPL-ads/blob/main/README.md

2. Unzip the downloaded file.

3. Open the extensions page in chrome browser (chrome://extensions/). Enable developer mode (a toggle button on top right side) in the same page. Drag and drop the unzipped folder in the extensions page. Disable the developer mode.

YourStory website has just been full of BJP ads since the last few days. Interesting that they're pushing the pedal on us as a TG in the last days before BLR voting
