IMA SDK (VAST) with VisualOn SDK player in Amazon Fire TV.

[vijay kumar]

I want to implement IMA SDK with VisualOn SDK player in Amazon Fire TV application with having a list of video with closed caption,

Now I want to play Ad first if available and then Video,this video list also having an Ad interval 

suppose 

if interval = 2 then Ad should play with IMA SDK after 2 video in the list.

like,

AD VOD VOD AD VOD VOD AD..... and so on

Also after on complete of each video,fetching new video url from server to play.

Please suggest with an example.

Thanks you,

Regards,

Vijay

Hi Vijay,

I believe I outlined an approach already in this post for this use case.  Have you tried it out?  Feel free to let us know if you need further customization.

Since it was already said that ad rules (server-side defined cue points) isn't what for your team is looking for, you will be keeping tracking of the ad interval client-side.  When it is time to play an ad (your app will be responsible for this counter logic), pause your content video, call requestAds() on your AdsLoader and .start() on the AdsManager to play the ad.  Once the ad finishes, destroy the AdsManager.  After the next two videos, repeat the above process to request and play your next ad.

You will be using single ad tags (i.e. a tag that has only one ad, as opposed to an ad playlist like VMAP) for each ad request.  You can use the same tag or a different one each time.  If you use the same one, make sure you follow this FAQ entry.

Last but not least, please be mindful that the SDK does not officially support any TV-based implementations.
