Description
Should OVA really set the duration of a show stream when the duration is 0 - if it is 0 then the meta data value passed to OVA as the duration, but if the meta data is inconsistent or wrong, this is a problem.
As per Jeremy's issue (reported in email) when using OVA with TubeMogul. 5 second show durations were being set when the show is actually much longer, but OVA is reporting:
11:05:48 GMT+0000: Stream duration requires adjustment - original duration: 00:00:00, metadata duration: 5
11:05:48 GMT+0000: Setting the duration for stream media/a209984c-2cc8-4399-8a85-7918e51ef40c_widgets-cms-mp4-s3 to 00:00:05

Best approach is to add a configuration option that allows setting the show duration to be explicitly turned off. It should be a sister config option to the "ads" option
"setDurationFromMetaData": false,
