How to setup non-linear Ads with JWPlayer and Doubleclick


Hi,

I'm trying to setup JWPlayer to show overlay ads served by Google Doubleclick on my Wordpress site. So far, I've been able to show pre-roll ads, which is quite straightforward using the JWPlayer plugin for Wordpress.

However, this plugin does not have any configuration settings for embedding overlay ads. What I'm doing so far is:
- Create inventory for the video in Doubleclick.
- Assign a non-linear creativity to that inventory.
- Get the tag for the inventory. The tag is one of this kind: http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640x480&iu=/94889978/overlay-vast-640x480&ciu_szs&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=xml_vast2&unviewed_position_start=1&url=[referrer_url]&description_url=[description_url]&correlator=[timestamp]
- Set the tag on the player settings of the JWplayer Wordpress plugin.
- Add a video resource using the plugin.

When I publish it, I can see the video showing perfectly, but no ads at all it's showing. However, if I do the same process but using a linear creativity (pre-roll), the ad its showing correctly.

I've been checking the JWPlayer documentation and the response to similar questions from JWPlayer support, but I can't manage to find a solution to make it work.

Could you please give me some help on this?

Thanks in advance.

Hm, if I try your ad tag out here – https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/vastinspector_dual

I get an error:

Sorry, please try with this one:
http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640x480&iu=/94889978/overlay-vast-640x480&ciu_szs&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=xml_vast2&unviewed_position_start=1&url=[referrer_url]&description_url=[description_url]&correlator=[timestamp]

Using that tag I can see the banner but the content of the video is not showing.
