Hi,
Does jwplayer support parsing a vast xml payload given as a string rather than a url?
In my case I have my backend returning me the vast xml payload as part of a concatenated payload. So in this case I can't provide a url for the jwplayer instance to fetch it from the net and parse on its own. I was wondering whether there is an API call that I can make use of, as it's not clear from the documentation.
Thanks,
Billy Janes.
Hello Billy,
You could do something like this:
advertising: {
client:“vast”,
schedule:{
adbreak1: {
offset:“pre”,
ad: {
source: “vast”,
vastxml: vastString
}
}
}
}
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I tried that, but the player never played the ad. i tried by either calling that .play() or even the .playAd(). Any suggestions? These are my settings;
{
file: "..initial mp4 url..",
image: void 0,
width: 500,
height: 282,
autostart: false,
controls: true,
primary: 'html5',
repeat: false,
aboutText: ABOUT_TEXT,
aboutLink: ABOUT_LINK,
advertising: {
client:"vast",
schedule:{
adbreak1: {
offset:"pre",
ad: {
source: "vast",
vastxml: decodeURIComponent("..VAST payload here encoded..")
}
}
}
}
}
Do you have an ads account?
What email address is associated to the account?
Any way I can see a test page?
