Not much is given on how this function works.
The way I am trying to understand it:
If JWPlayer itself notices AdBlock, it will then allow me to do whatever with the discover?
playerInstance.on('AdBlock', function(e){
$("#trailer_addict_video_frame").html("<p>Go F*ck Yourself</p>");
});
So basically destroy the created video in favor of some message? Does JWPlayer have a guide/tutorial on a better implementation?
Cheers

Hello,
We do not have a specific article on adBlocking at the moment but it essentially should work to the affect that if the player detects an adBlocker in the browser, it will fire what ever code you tell it it. If it is to remove the player jwplayer().remove(); or simply fire an alert. That code should work for you. I’ve included an example that might work for you as a starting point:
<p id="myAlert">Was The Ad Blocked?</p>playerInstance.on(“adBlock”,function(){console.log(“Ad blocked.”);document.getElementById(“myAlert”).innerHTML=“Ad was blocked. Please disable ad blocking to enjoy content.”;});
Hope that helps,
Randy
Okay, so does the playerInstance.on(“adBlock”,function() work even if a VAST isn't being called at the moment?
In short, does the function only work if advertising variables exist?
Cheers

Hello Ryan,
Let me get more specifics around this for you and circle back.

Thanks Randy.
Hello Ryan,
This is the feedback I got from our player team. Hope this helps:
This event is fired when an ad plugin (Either VAST or Google IMA) is configured inside of the JW Player setup, and an ad blocker is detected on a viewer’s browser. It is then possible to request a user disable their ad blocker to proceed.
