HTML5 IMA SDK: Black screen with non linear VPAID and VpaidMode.INSECURE

[Arnaud Leyder]

Hi, 

I am testing some non-linear VPAID JavaScript ads and I am seeing an issue when google.ima.settings.setVpaidMode(google.ima.ImaSdkSettings.VpaidMode.INSECURE) is set with a black screen being rendered on top of player. 

Black screen does not happen when google.ima.ImaSdkSettings.VpaidMode.ENABLED is set (VSI use this option by default so you will need to explicitly set VpaidMode.INSECURE to reproduce this issue).

This can be reproduced with your test adTag (Single VPAID 2.0 Non-Linear): https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640x480&iu=/124319096/external/single_ad_samples&ciu_szs=300x250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&cust_params=deployment%3Ddevsite%26sample_ct%3Dnonlinearvpaid2js&correlator=

This issue can be reproduced in our player as well here: https://www.radiantmediaplayer.com/test-html5-video-ads.html?adTagUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fpubads.g.doubleclick.net%2Fgampad%2Fads%3Fsz%3D640x480%26iu%3D%2F124319096%2Fexternal%2Fsingle_ad_samples%26ciu_szs%3D300x250%26impl%3Ds%26gdfp_req%3D1%26env%3Dvp%26output%3Dvast%26unviewed_position_start%3D1%26cust_params%3Ddeployment%253Ddevsite%2526sample_ct%253Dnonlinearvpaid2js%26correlator%3D

Inspecting DOM reveals a video tag appended by IMA SDK is having a default black background which seems to be causing the issue: 

<video title="Advertisement" webkit-playsinline="true" playsinline="true" style="position: absolute;width: 640px;height: 360px;" width="640" height="360"></video>

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks

Arnaud

Would it be possible to give a time-scale on when this might be fixed? Would be very handy to know if it's of high priority to the team or not.

Thanks!

hey!

i am still having the same issue, but with a linear Vpaid.js , a black screen is on top of the video when vpaidMode is INSECURE.

I need to access the DOM, so it needs to be INSEcURe..

any news on this topic?

Thank you!

Hi Steve,

Can you please provide us an Ad Tag that reproduces the issue? Also, can you please confirm whether you are able to reproduce the issue when you use the same tag in our Video Suite Inspector?
