Waterfall - move to next tag due to aderror
Hi,
The page http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1665150-ad-tag-waterfalling says "Once JW Player detects that an ad is not returned in VAST tag, we are able to cascade to another tag and attempt to play a different ad".
My waterfall consists of 3 tags. The 1st tag returns a VAST XML that contains a 'flash' ad which is actually a player (so not an ad as such):
<MediaFile delivery="progressive" width="300" height="250" apiFramework="VPAID" type="application/x-shockwave-flash">
This loads a flash player which then fails to find an ad which fires the 'onaderror' event is fired with the "Error Playing Ad Tag" error message.
So, strictly speaking, an ad was not found. BUT, the waterfall process in the player thinks an ad was found so it does not move to the next tag in my waterfall! It keeps using the 1st tag which keeps failing.
Shouldn't the player detect the onaderror event fired and move to the next tag in the waterfall array?
Many thanks
Jeremy
