I just checked the above video using the github method. No ad at the beginning or anywhere else.

I really don't know how to make it any clearer. It is 3 steps.
Use the very long theplatform request made by the browser (no editing this or using an alternatively formed request).
Once you have this data, at the very top there is a very long uplink preplay json. Load that (again, no edits).
Once you have that, the PlayURL is at the very bottom of the preplay json. The PlayURL is the only item that needs to be edited. The pbs value at this particular location is important in determining what is sent in the m3u8. The m3u8 here is a parent m3u8 and not a quality m3u8.
If you are following these steps without doing any shortcuts or kludges, then I don't know what else to suggest.
