A "hitch" in the context of video playback, particularly with HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) interstitials, refers to a noticeable pause or interruption in the playback experience. This can occur when transitioning between primary content and interstitial content (such as ads or other auxiliary content). The goal of using HLS interstitials is to minimize these hitches by allowing for seamless transitions and better user experiences.
For more details on how HLS interstitials work and how to implement them, you can refer to the session Enhance ad experiences with HLS interstitials.
