Count the number of Ads Requested using adRequest

Hi,
We are using JWPlayer 7.5 (Self-Hosted) version and one of the variables we would like to track is the adRequest using VPAID. Is this possible with our current setup?

Apologies for the perhaps obvious question and thank you in advance for your help and assistance,
Hong

Hi Hong,

The .on(“adRequest”) API event should fire with VPAID ads, as long as you’re using “vast” as your ad client. If this is not working for you, can you provide me with a URL to reproduction page?

Thanks!

Hi Hong,

Can you point me to the exact page you are having issues with? I found our player on two pages on your site, one for the “Sully” movie trailer and another on the page for the “Kubo and the Two Strings” trailer. The second page had an ad embedded on it and when I visit that page and enter the following into the console before I begin playback:

jwplayer().on("adRequest", function(e) { console.log(e); });

The adRequest event fires properly when I click Play on the player and the ad is requested.

Please let me know. Thanks!
