Bundle videojs with videojs-ima plugin

Question

I am trying (already few days) to achieve very simple task: build one javascript file that bundle all necessarily parts to play video with Google IMA ads, but I am still facing some errors (mostly player.ads is not function) that are always somehow connected to wrongly registered plugins. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

EDIT: this issue was already reported, but marked as priority 3 and I have not time to wait. I believe that there is another solution.

EDIT2: It seems that guy that reported this issue in link above already come with suitable solution. Now it remains only to try it..if it will work, I post it as an answer.

Entryfile:

/*jshint esversion: 6 */
/*jshint -W030 */

let ima_script = document.createElement('script');
ima_script.type = "text/javascript";
ima_script.src = "https://imasdk.googleapis.com/js/sdkloader/ima3.js";
document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(ima_script);

videojs = require('video.js');
require('videojs-contrib-ads');
require('videojs-ima');
require('videojs-youtube');
require('videojs-contrib-hls');

Array.from(document.getElementsByTagName('video'))
    .forEach(videojs);

ima_script.onload = function() {
    google.ima.settings.setLocale('cs');
    let players = videojs.players;
    for (let id in players) {
        (players.hasOwnProperty(id) ? players[id].ima({
            id: id,
            adTagUrl: 'https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640x480&iu=/124319096/external/single_ad_samples&ciu_szs=300x250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&cust_params=deployment%3Ddevsite%26sample_ct%3Dlinear&correlator=',
            disableFlashAds: true
        }):'');
    }
};

Answer 1

According to EDIT2, this is only modification that make it work:

Modified require part of Entryfile:

videojs = require('video.js');
var contribAds = require('videojs-contrib-ads');
videojs.registerPlugin('ads', contribAds);
require('video.js/dist/lang/cs.js')
require('videojs-youtube');
require('videojs-contrib-hls');
require('videojs-ima');

EDIT

Registering contrib-ads plugin was "fixed" in v6. Now you should use simply:

require('videojs-contrib-ads');
