How can I get details of the current ad? I need to know if it is a preroll or midroll, I tried to search using e.getStreamData().adProgressData without success.

function listenEvents(adManager) {
    const eventsAdManager = [
      shaka.ads.AdManager.ADS_LOADED,
      shaka.ads.AdManager.AD_STARTED,
      shaka.ads.AdManager.AD_FIRST_QUARTILE,
      shaka.ads.AdManager.AD_MIDPOINT,
      shaka.ads.AdManager.AD_THIRD_QUARTILE,
      shaka.ads.AdManager.AD_COMPLETE,
      shaka.ads.AdManager.ALL_ADS_COMPLETED,

      shaka.ads.AdManager.AD_PROGRESS,
      shaka.ads.AdManager.AD_BREAK_READY,
      shaka.ads.AdManager.AD_DURATION_CHANGED,
      shaka.ads.AdManager.AD_LINEAR_CHANGED,
      shaka.ads.AdManager.AD_LOADED,
      shaka.ads.AdManager.CUEPOINTS_CHANGED,
      shaka.ads.AdManager.IMA_AD_MANAGER_LOADED,
      shaka.ads.AdManager.IMA_STREAM_MANAGER_LOADED,
    ];

    eventsAdManager.forEach(events => {
      adManager.addEventListener(events, (e) => {

        console.log(`EVENT: ${e.type}`, e);
      }, false);
    });
  }

$('video').ui.player_.adManager_.csAdManager_.imaAdsManager_.getCurrentAd()

This might be what you are looking for.

The AD_STARTED event has an attached sdkAdObject object that contains all of the data the SDK knows for the ad that started.
To find the information on the ad pod itself, which would include the position, check event.sdkAdObject.data.adPodInfo. Specifically, you should look at the pod index in that. See the IMA SDK docs here. The pod index is 0 for a preroll, -1 for a post-roll, and 1+ for a midroll.

Hello guys, thanks for your help.

Actually, I've been using the IMA SDK and the IMA DAI SDK as well. Do you have any hints?
