setting builder.mediaLoadTimeOutInMs = 1000 ms not working. exo version 2.9.1

[nitinjain12]

we are using exo ima extension v2.9.1. we want mediaLoadTimeOutInMs = 1000 ms of preroll.
but Ad wait for 8 sec to throw the media timeout error. It increase the latency of the content startup.

          ImaAdsLoader.Builder builder = new ImaAdsLoader.Builder(context);

            if (vastTimeOutInMs != AdData.NOT_SET) {
                builder.setVastLoadTimeoutMs(vastTimeOutInMs);
            }
            if (mediaLoadTimeOutInMs != AdData.NOT_SET) {
                builder.setMediaLoadTimeoutMs(mediaLoadTimeOutInMs);
            }
             builder.setAdEventListener(this);
            adsLoader = builder.buildForAdTag(adTagUri);

I think I've seen this value be ignored by the IMA SDK in the past. I will check again and ask them if they could take a look if needed. Thanks for the report.

Thank you @andrewlewis for your reply. It will be really helpful if we get some workaround as well.
Adding more info we are using the below IMA SDK version.

Update: A fix has been submitted and we should be able to pick this up in the next IMA SDK release (not sure when that will be yet).
