Hello, there is a way to use the jwplayer to display only ads ( no video needed ) ??
Like this,
jwplayer("container").setup({
advertising: {
client: "vast",
tag: "http://serve.vdopia.com/adserver/vastxml/4b2d8203d7734396e4546ae4161890b5/preroll|ytpreroll/category:IAB1|IAB2|IAB4|IAB8|IAB7;api_test:true;format:vast;tagtype:publisher;ru=[referrer];rand=[TIME_STAMP]"
}
});
Sorry, we do not have an “ads only” mode, so you must have a file: ’’ defined in your jwplayer().setup() in order to make the player work. My suggestion would be to have a half-second long blank MP4 video with just a black screen. The player will start, play your ad, and then show the black screen briefly. The end result is basically imperceptible for your viewers.
try using this event listener
playerInstance.on("adComplete",function(event){
//add code here
});
playerInstance.on("adError",function(event){
//add code here
});
You would still need to instantiate our player with a file: ’’ in order to be able to call those ads-related API events.
Yes he should. So in his case it would be like this... sorry I forgot to add the file :)
var playerInstance = jwplayer("#containerId").setup({
file: "urlToTheVideoFile",
image: "urlToTheImageFile",
mediaid:"yourMediaId",
primary: "flash",
advertising: {
client: "vast",
tag: "http://serve.vdopia.com/adserver/vastxml/4b2d8203d7734396e4546ae4161890b5/preroll|ytpreroll/category:IAB1|IAB2|IAB4|IAB8|IAB7;api_test:true;format:vast;tagtype:publisher;ru=[referrer];rand=[TIME_STAMP]"
}
});
playerInstance.on("adComplete",function(event){
//add code here.
// If you want to remove the player after the ad video is completed
// do a jwplayer("#containerId").remove();
});
playerInstance.on("adError",function(event){
//add code here
});
