Hello Team

I expect this ad tag to have 5 mid roll ads playing every 10 seconds. Like this.
00:00 -> Play pre roll
00:15 -> Play 5 mid roll ads
00:25 ->Play 5 mid roll ads
00:35 ->Play 5 mid roll ads
....
But actually, the ads only play at 00:15. It does not play every 10 seconds.
Could you please confirm this?

■Device
iPhone XS(iOS 15.5)

■App
Swift Basic Sample

■Ad Tag URL
VMAP - Pre-roll Single Ad, Mid-roll Standard Pods with 5 Ads Every 10 Seconds for 1:40, Post-roll Single Ad

Thanks

Hi Pineapplevine,

Thank you for reaching out to us. 

As per your concern, it seems that there's a misunderstanding with our sample ad tag. The said ad tag will do the following.
  1. Plays Pre-roll Single Ad
  2. Plays Mid-roll Standard Pods with 5 Ads Every 10 Seconds - If you notice, the ad will show with pod counter which is up to 5
  3. Plays Post-roll Single Ad

Hello

Thanks for your response.

You mean this behavior is correct?
And if so, what does "for 1:40" in the following explanation mean?
「VMAP - Pre-roll Single Ad, Mid-roll Standard Pods with 5 Ads Every 10 Seconds for 1:40, Post-roll Single Ad」

Sorry for asking many questions.

Thank you.

Hello,

 

Michael here and I work along with Teejay.

 

I believe the behavior mentioned by my colleague was correct. Although, the description of the tag was a bit off of what it actually do. Because of this, allow me to raise a feature request to the rest of our team to give a proper description for the tag and avoid confusion. You may check the our documentation of sample tags at a later date for this update.
