Android - AdsRenderingSettings

[fcourt...@turbulent.ca]

Hi,

I implemented this SDK on android and ran into an issue with older devices.

The selection of appropriate bitrate & format does not seem to work and cause some devices to load 1080p webm version when a lower resolution mp4 version would be more appropriate.  At a glance it would seem that the last MediaFile URL listed in the VAST response is the one used.

I am trying to limit mime types and bitrate by passing a AdsRenderingSettings object to the AdsManager init call but that appears to be ignored.  Is this a known issue or am I doing something wrong?

@Override
public void onAdsManagerLoaded(AdsManagerLoadedEvent event) {
  String[] mimeType = {"video/mp4"}; 
  adsManager = event.getAdsManager();
  adsManager.addAdErrorListener(this);
  adsManager.addAdEventListener(this);
  
  AdsRenderingSettings settings = ImaSdkFactory.getInstance().createAdsRenderingSettings();
  settings.setMimeTypes(Arrays.asList(mimeType));
  settings.setBitrateKbps(1000);
  adsManager.init(settings);
}

Thank you, 

Felix

Hey Felix,

I was able to replicate the issue in the sample app. I'll look at this with the rest of the team to determine what's going on.

I got the same problem here. I tried to select specificaly mp4, but it seemed to be ignore, and I still get webm served.

        

                AdsRenderingSettings rendering = sdkFactory.createAdsRenderingSettings();

List<String> mimes = Arrays.asList("video/mp4");

rendering.setMimeTypes(mimes);

rendering.setBitrateKbps(1024);

adsManager = event.getAdsManager();

adsManager.addAdErrorListener(this);

adsManager.addAdEventListener(this);

adsManager.init(rendering);

Hi,

Thanks for the additional info. We've actually found the cause of the problem and we're working on a fix. We hope to have it included in the next release.

Hi all,

We've just pushed a new version of the Android SDK that should solve this issue. Download the new jar and let us know if it's still an issue.

Thanks,

I am using Beta 9 on Android (Beta v9 10/17/2014), it seems like the bugs is still in that version, the AdsRendererSettings are not used. Could you confirm?

Thank you

It works using your preferred approach
