overlay is not working in mobile browser

[Nafisa Kanwal]

I have used 
  player.ima.initializeAdDisplayContainer();
for mobile, but still not working in mobile.

Here is my sample code
var player = this;

var options = {

          id: 'example_video_1',

          adTagUrl:'https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?ad_type=standardvideo_flash&client=ca-video-pub-2502323728862352&description_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftune.tv&videoad_start_delay=0&hl=en&max_ad_duration=30000'
 },

        player.ima(options);
        player.ima.initializeAdDisplayContainer();

        player.ima.requestAds();

       

Urgent help is needed.
Thanks in advance

Hi Nafisa,

Are you experiencing this issue with both Android and iPhone mobile browsers?  Please note that overlays are not supported on iPhone browsers.  Please see our compatibility page to view our support.

I've tested with your tag using the iPhone example provided and was able to see overlays on Android.  Can you please check the logic of the example against your implementation?

Please make sure that your init function looks similar to this.  You are using player.ima but please use this.player.ima instead.

Ads.prototype.init = function() {
  // Create the player
  this.createPlayer();
  this.player = videojs('content_video');

  // Initialize the IMA plugin
  this.player.ima(
      this.options,
      this.bind(this, this.adsManagerLoadedCallback));
  this.player.ima.initializeAdDisplayContainer();

  // Request ads and play the video
  this.player.ima.requestAds();
  this.player.play();
};

You can also send a live example so we can take a look.

Thanks,

Its not working in the android browser , the ad campaign which i am using is creative source:youtube
Well working fine at desktop but in mobile its only show the blank screen instead of playing ad .

Hi Nafisa,

If the creative source is from YouTube, it will not play on mobile browsers. YouTube-hosted assets are only available on desktop at the moment.

Hey Tyler 

Is there any way that we can play the creative source ad as a pre roll and after it we play google ads  

Please help me out ! 
Thanks in advance

Hi Nafisa,

I'm not sure how you are distinguishing Google ads but after you play your prerolls, the SDK will make a request to play your video content.  

• You can use a VMAP playlist that plays preroll then "Google ads" next.  
• You can serve overlays over the video content but I'd suggest speaking to your account manager about serving these types of ads.  
• Please keep the previous conversation in mind where we discussed that YouTube hosted videos are not supported on mobile devices so it also does depends on the platform where you are displaying your ads and content.

Thanks,
