Hello,

I'm testing my server's VAST xml response with the google player.

when using the flash player it works fine and plays the video,
However if I switch to the html5 player it does not work, I get the following error:

Ad Error: VAST response was malformed and could not be parsed.

I don't understand how it can be malformed if the flash player works,

I checked the response I get in Chrome's network tab and see the response is exactly the same one.

Could it be an error in the html5 player? Does it not support wrapped ads by any chance?

here is a link to my test ad:

Please advise,

Aviem

Hey Aviem,

Do you have a link to your test ad? It looks like it's missing in your message.

Thanks,

Hi Nikhil,

This doesn't appear to be the same error as I'm not able to play your tag in HTML5 or Flash. It looks like you're serving an invalid tag. Can you check that your tag meets the IAB spec and try again?
