What's the role of a an adserver and a player when defining e.g. skippable ad, skippable after x seconds, countdown, ad labeling. Is this Information coming from the adserver or is it part of the player? Are different creatives for the different uses cases necessary? Thanky
With regards to what you list above:
skippable ad, skippable after x seconds, countdown, ad labeling
Depending on whether you are using VAST, Googima, or VPAID ad tags:
VAST: You are able to configure skipping via the player
Googima: Skipping must be configured in the DFP dashboard, skippable Googima ads do not play on mobile
VPAID: Skippable will be configured in the ad creative, we suggest using Javascript creative for the best cross-browser, cross-device support
Our ad tag tester here:
https://developer.jwplayer.com/tools/ad-tester/
includes some sample ad tags that demonstrate the behavior of a few different ad types we support.
Hope this helps.
