Ad markers in VOD
1. The current StreamPackage is capable of processing ad markers within HLS on-demand files; moreover, on-demand files can also designate ad insertion points through the use of VMAP.
2. In future updates to StreamPackage, we will also support the functionality of inserting advertisement markers into on-demand files.
