I tried waiting to AdComplete event, and then run playAd again, its working ok on the preroll, but not working on postroll.

I mean when Im doing it on BeforePlay it work fine but when Im using it on BeforeComplete its not.

Hi, there.

I do not believe there is a way to play two ads in a row with our JavaScript API, as .playAd() can only be called in the following situations:

inside a JW Player event handler for onBeforePlay(), to trigger a pre-roll.
inside a JW Player event handler for onTime(), to trigger a mid-roll.
inside a event handler for onBeforeComplete(), to trigger a post-roll.
Outside of event handlers, only when the player is in the playing state.

Please let me know if you need any more help or have any other questions.

Thank you!

Hey,

Thanks for your response,

Is there a way to configure 2 ads in a row on the setup phase?

like :

schedule: {
preroll1: {
offset: 'pre',
tag: 'http://adserver.com/vastResponse1.xml'
},
prerol2l: {
offset: 'pre',
tag: 'http://adserver.com/vastResponse1.xml'
},
}

Hi, there.

If your ad tags are VAST 3.0-compliant, then you can use Ad Pods to accomplish this. You can read more about it on this support article. If you are using VAST 2.0 tags, there is no built-in way in our player to enable two ads in a row.

Please let me know if you need any more help or have any other questions.

Thank you!
