EXAMPLE

There are 2 required parameters for non-standard linear ad: video source url and click through url. The user may also define tracking url and ad unique id for tracking purpose. Other parameters available are: skip option (seconds), clickthrough method, time offset to play ad and industry icon displayed in the left bottom corner. Here's an example of single non-standard ad setup:

Code snippet

player.vastAds ({
ads:{
media: {src:"video-source-url",type:"media/type"}, 
clickthrough: "ad-click-url",
id: "ad-unique-id",  // (optionally)
trackingUrl: "tracking-script-url",  // (optionally)
skip: "5",  //(optionally)
}
});

Tracking

If you define ad Id and tracking URL, ad events will be sent to a tracking script with 2 parameters in request: action and id, e.g.

Code snippet

https://domain.com/your-tracking-script?action=skip&id=ad-idhttps://domain.com/your-tracking-script?action=firstQuartile&id=ad-idhttps://domain.com/your-tracking-script?action=complete&id=ad-id

Actions that can be tracked this way are: start, firstQuartile, midpoint, thirdQuatile, complete, skip, pause, resume.

Multiple ads

You can have multiple non-standard ads. Instead of one ad, provide an array of ads. Additionally, you can assign a different time value for each ad to start playback, e.g.

Code snippet

player.vastAds ({
ads:[ {
media: {src:"video-source-url.mp4",type:"video/mp4"}, 
clickthrough: "ad-click-url",
id: "ad-unique-id",
trackingUrl: "tracking-script-url",
skip: "5"  //(optionally)
} , {
media: {src:"video-source-url.m3u8",type:"application/x-mpegURL"}, 
clickthrough: "ad-click-url",
id: "ad-unique-id",
trackingUrl: "tracking-script-url"
clickthroughMethod: "link"
icon: "icon-image.png"
timeOffset: 20
} , {
media: {src:"video-source-url.m3u8",type:"application/x-mpegURL"}, 
clickthrough: "ad-click-url",
id: "ad-unique-id",
trackingUrl: "tracking-script-url"
timeOffset: "50%"
skip: "10"
},
});

If you do not provide timeOffset or timeOffset value is 0 or start, the ad will play as a preroll.
Values for timeOffset option can be provided as a number of seconds, percentage value or end for postroll (VOD video only).

Mixed ads

It is possible to mix non-standard ads and VAST ads from tag url, e.g.

Code snippet

player.vastAds ({
ads:[ {
tagURL:"path-to-vast-file" 
}, {
media: {src:"video-source-url.m3u8",type:"application/x-mpegURL"}, 
clickthrough: "ad-click-url",
id: "ad-unique-id",
trackingUrl: "tracking-script-url"
clickthroughMethod: "link"
icon: "icon-image.png"
timeOffset: 10
}
});
