HTML5 VMAP example

[Andrew Sinclair]

Hi,

I am trying to get the HTML5 IMA V3 SDK working with a VMAP tag and it keeps returning the error:

Ad error: AdError 1010: The ad response was not understood and cannot be parsed.

This is the tag I am using and was pulled from one of the IMA samples:

http://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640x480&iu=%2F15018773%2Feverything2&ciu_szs=300x250%2C468x60%2C728x90&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=xml_vmap1&unviewed_position_start=1url=[referrer_url]&correlator=[timestamp]&cmsid=133&vid=10XWSh7W4so&ad_rule=1

Source of sample: https://github.com/googleads/googleads-ima-flash/blob/master/src/com/google/ads/ima/examples/sdk_integration/web/SdkIntegrationExample.as

Any ideas?

Hi Andrew,

The sample ad tag you gave works in our Video Suite Inspector tool (make sure you select the HTML 5 player). Also the link you sent is for the Flash SDK, just double checking since you said it was for the HTML5 SDK. What device/browser are you testing on?

Cheers,

Hi Bret,

Got it working using the Simple player sample, I was testing on using the HTML5 custom sample from the IMA SDK, reason I picked the URL from the Flash SDK as it was the only place I could find a reference VMAP tag before I create my own.

Not 100% sure why it wasn't working in the custom example but I will go back and check through the logic, as may be something other than the tag.

Thanks for your response

Andrew
