Need to show ad only once

Hi Team,

We've setup a player using jw-player. We're facing this issue of ad repeating after every vod loads. Jw-player is calling ad server with every new vod.

To execute this scenario please do following steps:
1. click on the link let the ad play.
2. click on next button, to the right of the player.
3. Observe ad comes again.

To give you a clue, we're encoding the vod in php, then in flash its decoded, that decoded path is then given to jw-player.

See video clipping to understand more about this issue: http://youtu.be/8xkSwpLlpIU

Hi,

I am assuming you are getting an ad in front of every video because you have a playlist with a pre-roll ad scheduled. Instead of the pre-roll ad schedule, I would create a variable named adPlayed and set it to false. Using our Javascript API’s onPlay() call, I would check to see if adPlayed == false, then set adPlayed = true, then play the ad with our playAd() call. The rest of the videos should play without loading an ad now.

Hope this helps,
Todd
