Samples for post-roll mid-roll and non-linear overlay ads

[Arnaud Leyder]

Hi,

I am working on integrating IMA SDK HTML5 for my video player https://www.radiantmediaplayer.com.
Thanks to a clear documentation I have been successful so far with the SDK/options and the pre-roll sample. I would like to know if you have samples for adTagUrl corresponding to mid/post-roll ads and non linear overlay ads that I could test or if you could point me towards resources to obtain some? I do have an AdSense account but it is not for video ads.

Hey Arnaud,

Sure thing - here are some of our sample tags:

Thank you very much Shawn.

I am just little confuse because it do not seems VAST neither VMAP.

Is it another technology? Is it IMA only? Where I can get a reference for it.

I am trying to do it, but I am using VMAP like bellow. Which way is better?

	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
	<vmap:VMAP xmlns:vmap="http://www.iab.net/videosuite/vmap" version="1.0">
	<vmap:AdBreak timeOffset="start" breakType="linear" breakId="preroll">
	<vmap:AdSource id="preroll-pre-bumper" allowMultipleAds="false" followRedirects="true">
	<vmap:AdTagURI templateType="vast3"><![CDATA[http://demo.hdrelay.com/vast-intro.xml]]></vmap:AdTagURI>
	</vmap:AdSource>
	</vmap:AdBreak>
	<vmap:AdBreak timeOffset="00:00:01.000" breakType="nonlinear" breakId="midroll-1">
	<vmap:AdSource id="midroll-1-pre-bumper" allowMultipleAds="false" followRedirects="true">
	<vmap:AdTagURI templateType="vast3"><![CDATA[http://demo.hdrelay.com/vast-over.xml]]></vmap:AdTagURI>
	</vmap:AdSource>
	</vmap:AdBreak>
	<vmap:AdBreak timeOffset="end" breakType="linear" breakId="postroll">
	<vmap:AdSource id="postroll-pre-bumper" allowMultipleAds="false" followRedirects="true">
	<vmap:AdTagURI templateType="vast3"><![CDATA[http://demo.hdrelay.com/vast-intro.xml]]></vmap:AdTagURI>
	</vmap:AdSource>
	</vmap:AdBreak>
	</vmap:VMAP>

Thanks again.

Hey Rafael,

Those responses are DFP ad rules responses, which are specific to DFP. You can get a VMAP response instead by changing the "output" parameter to "xml_vmap1" in any of those URLs. I wouldn't say either is better than the other, just that ad rules is DFP proprietary and VMAP is an IAB industry standard. 

Thanks,

Hi,

I am trying to use the below given test URLs, the overlay image I can get to work however the 3 others URLs for linear ads do not seem to work.

I have printed the output of my debug console below. Can you tell me if those are working URLs? Is it CORS related?
For example this one (postroll only) does not seem to work: http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640x480&iu=%2F3510761%2FadRulesSampleTags&ciu_szs=160x600%2C300x250%2C728x90&cust_params=adrule%3Dpostrollonly&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&ad_rule=1&vid=47570401&cmsid=481&output=xml_vast2&unviewed_position_start=1&url=[referrer_url]&correlator=[timestamp]

Thanks

Hello Shawn,

I'm having the same problem and I've tested these same VASTs in both Flash and HTML5 IMA SDK's integrations with my player, and I've got the following:

Post-roll only

Flash: yes

HTML5: no - Fails silently

Pre-roll, Mid-roll, and Post-roll

Flash: no

HTML5: no

Ad adLoadError error: No ads were found in the ad response. At least one ad is required to be able to load or play. errorCode: 302

Pre-roll pod, Mid-roll pod, and Post-roll pod

Flash: yes

HTML5: no - Fails silently

Thanks, best regards.

Hi all,

Please see my response from Feb 10. The initial URLs I sent have expired, but the updated ones should still be working and should not expire.

Hi Shawn,

Thanks for your reply.

I believe something's wrong with HTML5 version of IMA because, for instance, AdRules works fine with Flash version but fails in HTML5. I've caught the debug logs from IMA (they simply stop there with no error messages):

Hi Leandro,

Which page are you using to test? If I test on our Video Suite Inspector I see the tags working fine.

Thanks,

Hi Shawn,

Good point!

So that's surely my integration specific mistake, although I've got no idea why AdRules' medias aren't reproducing while others do.

I'll keep trying to track it down and get back to you if needed.

Thanks again, regards!

Hi Shawn

I am trying to integrate Postrolls to our Videos. We are already using PreRolls.

How can I use the sample Tags you provided? Which part of my VAST Tag do I have to integrate. (I'm sorry I am new to this). And is it possible to use a different VAST TAG for the Pre then for the Post Roll?

Thanks.

[Shawn Busolits (IMA SDK Team)]

Hi Ursula,

The test tags we have are just for testing - they will not help you serve your ads as a post-roll. If you just want to test post-rolls, you can grab the post-roll tag here and plug it in instead of your tag. If you would like your tag to serve as a post-roll, you'll need to contact the support person for your ad server and ask them how to configure that.

Thanks,

Thank you

Hi Shawn, 

Could you please send me some examples to insert mid rolls in videoview. I and find samples to insert mid rolls in my project.

[Vu Chau (IMA SDK Team)]

Hi Vineet,

For VMAP samples that include midrolls, see this sample list.  For how to implement midrolls, check out DFP ad rules.
