Limit number of ads shown to users


Hi,

How can we limit the number of video ads shown to our users. Our videos are ~2 minutes long, and currently each user is shown a 30 second long video ad after each video. We want to limit the number of ads shown so users are shown 1 ad per three videos watched to provide a better UX.

We are using JW Player 6.0 Enterprise, VAST 2.0 and have created our custom built playlist.

Many thanks,
Philip

You should set frequency capping on your ads on an ad network level.

OK, the ad network are reluctant to do this and has asked us to do this on a publisher level. Is there any other way?

Thanks,

We do not have a way to do this in the player itself.

Just spoke to our ad network again and they say they can't configure this on their side as they get the request and responds with an ad or an empty reply, if no campaign is available.

Is there no way to configure the JW Player so the VAST ad-call is only called on e.g. the first video played or the third?

Many thanks,
Philip

You might be able to use our API, and onAdImpression, and then store your own cookie, and then if the cookie is set, on repeated visits, a player is set up without an ad tag.
