Wrong behavior of IMA ads on CAF receiver

[harshal...@gmail.com]

Hi,
        We have created a CAF receiver which supports IMA ads. The adUrl is injected in the following way in the messageInterceptor

request.media.vmapAdsRequest = {

            adTagUrl: request.media.metadata.AD_TAG_URL,

        }

        From last couple of days, all the ads are getting treated as postrolls even though those are correctly represented as prerolls, midrolls and postrolls at the sender side.

There is no code change at the receiver side from last month.

Could you please look into this and update?

Regards,
Harshal

Hi,

We referred the following link to implement ads at receiver side

https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/caf_receiver/ad_breaks

The receiver framework is loaded from https//www.gstatic.com/cast/sdk/libs/caf_receiver/v3/cast_receiver_framework.js

Sharing the snippet used

this.playerManager_.setMessageInterceptor(

cast.framework.messages.MessageType.LOAD,

async (request) => {

...

if(request.media.metadata.AD_TAG_URL && request.media.metadata.AD_TAG_URL.length){

request.media.vmapAdsRequest = {

adTagUrl: request.media.metadata.AD_TAG_URL,

};}

...

return request;

});

Could you please?

Hi Harshal,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Please note that CAF ad breaks functionality is an alternative to the IMA SDK implementation. Any issues related to this should be reported via the Cast developer support. They would be able to assist with your query about ads behavior on CAF receiver.
