html5 ima sdk and videojs error, after ads the main video can't continue play

[sorry chou]

Hi ALL:

pleas help me!

Hi there,

• A fragment of content slips in before the preroll starts
• This happens because the player relies on the prerollTimeout value in order to know how long to wait for a preroll before resuming to content.  According to the spec, this value should be as small as possible so the user doesn't have to wait unnecessarily long if no preroll is scheduled.  Make this value greater if the implementation needs more time to decide whether there is a preroll or not.  It seems the latter scenario is the case here.  Upon page load, you can see the player going ahead and load content already before it realizes there is a preroll scheduled to be played, at which point it plays the ad but at a cost of showing some content.  I changed the value from the default 100 to something like 1000 (in videojs.ima.js), and was able to load the preroll immediately.  The implementation simply needs more than 100 ms to check and load the preroll.
• Content not resuming at the end of the ad
• This is a creative issue.  If you test the creative in our sample GitHub project, you will also see that it doesn't trigger content resume.  I put together a sample project here that should address both issues.

Dear Vu Chau:

thanks to solve my question, but AFV creatives seems can't resume main video, so I listen onAdStarted_ and onAdComplete_, but now I have 3 problems need your help

1. how to detect ads skip button 

2. why my player button can't click(mute, progress bar)

3. how to close ads correctly, now I call the resetIMA_() but ads control bar still cover on main video

Hi there,

When I tested with our sample AFV tag, the content does resume successfully.  I noticed the ad tag you are using is serving a Flash VPAID from DFP and not AdSense.

1) I'm not sure what exactly you mean by this.  When AFV serves a skippable ad, the SDK will detect skippability based on the skipoffset attribute in the ad's VAST response.  As a result, the SDK will display the skip button and handle the logic accordingly when the button is clicked.  You shouldn't be creating your own custom skip ad button in any scenario.  If you would like your ads to serve as skippable, you can find assistance on the AdSense forum.

2 & 3) It looks like the AdDisplayContainer is still on.  This issue might tie with your other issue of not being able to resume to content.  Instead of listening to onAdComplete_, you might want to try onContentResumeRequested_, where the SDK resumes the content video and hides the ad container. Additionally, it seems to be a creative issue.  Your Flash VPAID creative somehow doesn't clean up the control interface on top of the video player.

Dear Vu Chau:

I use Adsense AFV generate ima tag and add into DFP creative, all creatives are from Adsense, so I very confusing why can't resume like yours and google provide ima samples.

sorry for my bad english, according my question

1) because the ads can't resume main video, so I need to listen event when skip button is click, but I don't know which event will be trigger.

2 & 3) all creatives are from Adsense, I don't know why?

Thank you

Hi there,

It turns out your ad tag is using the VPAID adapter (http://ima3vpaid.appspot.com), while it shouldn't. If you use this tag (http://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/ads?ad_type=video&client=ca-video-pub-3923027610554738&description_url=https%3A%2F%2Flivehouse.in%2F&videoad_start_delay=0&hl=zh_TW), which is the one your VPAID adapter ultimate redirects to, it should work.  You can check out my modified sample to see the change.

Dear Vu Chau, 

thanks for your demo but we use DFP to manage our ads, so how to add AFV to DFP creative correctly? when I use direct sdk, the DFP say can't find video.

Thank you for all your assistance.

Hello,

I would recommend following the instructions in this Help Center article, which explains how to set up an AFV line item in DFP.  Please also note that this feature isn't available for all DFP networks, so if you continue to have problems, I'd recommend reaching out to the DFP support team.

Have a nice weekend!

Hi Vu Chau,

I am running http://chauduyphanvu.github.io/ on my android mobile and it's not showing ads can you please tell me why.

[Vu Chau (IMA SDK Team)]

Hi Deepak,

That example is no longer maintained. Please refer to this VideoJS IMA implementation example for the up-to-date version.

Thanks!
