AdTonomy bugs with playlist

46 replies [Last post]
Reply

Hi,

I've purchased an adtvideo license some weeks ago.
My playlist bugs with the AdTonomy plugin.
Without AdTonomy, everything works fine. But with the plugin, the player plays the first two videos and stop.

Videos : MP4 (H264)
Streamer : rtmp

Here's an example page : http://www.diagnostic-expertise.com/test-player.php

Any idea ?

Thx !

Hi,

I investigated the issue. It looks like Adtonomy Video seems to not interact with RTMP playlists very well. I have opened a ticket and this will be addressed in an upcoming Adtonomy release which should be happening in the next little while.

Thanks.

@Marco - Can you provide a link to where you are running this?

Reply

@Ethan - I'm sorry but in this moment the campaign is ended and there aren't any ads to show

Reply

@Marco - Please provide something if possible, when you can, thanks.

I have updated jw to the last version (5.2)

Sometimes ads campaign appears here:

Hi Marco,

I took a look at the page. It looks like the adtvideo.config file you are using (in this case Adtonomy.ashx) is an empty file. This would be why Adtonomy is not functioning correctly.

Thanks.

It was empty because in that moment there wasn't any active campaigns.

I don't know when the customer is going to start it.

With the new version 5.2.1065 not even first video start after the adv.

Check my previous url (adv is not always available... you can refresh to find it)

Reply

@Marco - You may want to put up a test page that actually has a test config file that does not return empty. It isn't possible to test with you have to keep refreshing and it always turns up empty.

I have downgrade to 5.1 and the problem is the same as first link:

http://www.diagnostic-expertise.com/test-player.php

after the third adv the player stop working... with the 5.2 not even first video start.

Reply

Hi Marco,

I confirmed the issue and have created a ticket. Looks like an issue with how Adtonomy and the Player interact when RTMP streaming is being used. The next release for Adtonomy will be happening very soon and we'll fix the bug with that release.

Thanks.

hi,

i am having problems with flv videos - adtonomy - playlist - xmoov.php. After two or three videos, some videos only have audio.
u can see in www.ernestojustiniano.org/19.php

Hi Ernesto,

Does this happen with a playlist without xmoov, or only with xmoov/playlists?

Best,

Inserting one playlist without the xmoov in www.ernestojustiniano.org/19.php

Reply

www.ernestojustiniano.org/19.php seems to work perfectly for me now.

Reply

finished. ernestojustiniano.org/19.php does have also a playlist without xmoov. u can see the code for the xml where streamer is with //

so, the problem is not xmoov.php

i have also tried (u can see 19.php) a playlist with only embed code. And nothing. I have checked with shift+clic for refreshing...

i will try now "Create a JavaScript Playlist"

Yes, I see it now. It looks like there is a bug with Adtonomy / Playlists.

Question, does this work in 5.1, or is it a 5.2 only bug?

Reply

i do not know. i recently bought the license for adtonomy and first time using with jw5.2. i used to work with jw4.1 (i think)

question, does it work with 5.1?

Reply

pls inform me when you fix it to publico@ernestojustiniano.org. i will wait because i was trying to offer advertisements to our clients with this new technology. meanwhile i will offer only the single video.

ty,

ernesto

You can download 5.1 to test here - http://www.longtailvideo.com/order/view, you should be able to select 5.1 from the list.

Can you try it?

Thanks.

u can see in ernestojustiniano.org with jw5.1. it does not work also.

for me in the playlist, i play -> close the ad -> go the next video -> // i repeat two o three times and then i have a blank video "with audio".

going to next items, some play right, others not.

* jw5.1 also changes some colors and i see facebook and twitter without the image.

r, e.

Thanks, it looks to be a bug with V5/Adtonomy, we will investigate. Thank you for doing that for me.

ty. pls inform me when u fix it at publico@ernestojustiniano.org

other questions pls:

1) what is the difference, apart from the price, with DoubleClick InStream (or Yume,etc)? Is this better than Adtonomy Video Ads (Run Your Own Ads)?

2) i do notice that when people play video with adtonomy video, they have to wait for the complete download of the video ads before playing it. can i change it?
i ask this because with a video ads for example of 20sec here in bolivia this is a lot of time with a black screen, because of the internet speed.
u can see in ernestojustiniano.org/22.php

No problem.

1) DoubleClick InStream is a plugin for DART, if you have a DoubleClick/DART account. It is to serve those ads though the JW PLayer.

2) This is because Adtonomy is not yet based on the JW Player. In a future update, it will be, and it will fix this issue.

I've upgrade jw player with 5.2.
now my playlist does'nt work anymore. With ou without Adtonomy plugin...

Reply

Did you move the videos used by the playlist? I'm getting 404s when I try to navigate to them.

Thanks.

Reply

The bug is the same if the playlist is in rtmp streaming or http progressive download.

I hope that adtonomy will solve this quickly.

Thanks

Hi Marco,

We'll be addressing this issue and other outstanding bugs very soon.

Thanks.

Ethan,

Refering to ur post "Wed, 2010-06-16 13:54" must I say also that adtonomy text does not run with playlists. U can check at www.ernestojustiniano.org/22.php.

Regards

I also checked the manual trying to run only one ad (for video n text separately) with

<spot id="preroll_spot" type="video" timing="pre"/>
to
<spot id="preroll_spot" type="video" timing="pre" items="first"/>

but no way!
-------------------------------------------------------------

page 3 manual adtonomy text and page 4 adt video:


items
(JW Player 5 only) Determines when the spot is played in a playlist. Choose your setting among the
following:
"all": The advertisement will appear at the specified timing for every content video (this is the default).
"first": The advertisement will appear at the specified timing for the first content video.
"last": The advertisement will appear at the specified timing for the last content video.
List of index values: The advertisement will appear at the specified timing for content videos at the comma
separated indexes.

also there is a "offset" for pre|post|... but in the example shows timing???

from manual:

offset
This setting is critical, as it tells the Plugin when to display the advertisement. Choose your setting
among the following:
"pre": The advertisement will appear before the content video begins (pre-roll).
"post": The advertisement will appear after the content video ends (post-roll).
Any other numerical value: The advertisement will appear the number of seconds into the video that you specify

Hi Ernesto,

The correct attribute is timing. We will be updating the plugin and the documentation shortly.

Thanks.

Hi,

Is the bug with RTMP solved ?

Thx.

Reply

@kisscool82,

The RTMP issues should be fixed. There have been some updates to Adtonomy to address this. I also recommend that you switch to the 5.3 player as it also fixes some bugs with RTMP that affected Adtonomy.

Thanks.

Hi...

I have updated my app to the latest jwplayer version and checked the adtonomy config but the problem still exists...

check it here:
http://www.floptv.tv/ps3/

The adv works well.. multi impressions, spot and click are good but after the second video (it is a mrss playlist) the player stops (autostart is also set)

- playlist: http://www.floptv.tv/ps3/Playlist.aspx
- adtonomy config: http://www.floptv.tv/ps3/Adtonomy.ashx

Thanks
Marco

Hi Marco,

I have reproduced the issue. After some investigation I believe I have a fix for it. We'll try and get an update out very shortly.

Thanks.

hi Cameron...

let me know if I must change something on my config... thanks!

Reply

Hi...

Do you have any news?
Thanks

Reply

Hi Marco,

I believe this should be fixed with the latest version of the JW Player. Give that a try and let me know if it works.

Thanks.

Reply

Hi Cameron... now with the latest version it works like a charm!

Thanks

Hi... nevermind :-(

I found another bug: my preroll starts on all playlist items: if I start from the first video (jwplayer with item=0) advs start fine between every video... but if I start from the fifth item for example the preroll starts twice then it's ok on next.

Marco

Hi Marco,

I'm sorry to hear that. Can I use the URL provided earlier in the post to see this issue? An example would be helpful.

Thanks.

Reply

You can check it here:

http://www.floptv.tv/ps3/shows/ripetizzioni/1

The preroll starts twice then the second playlist video (jwplayer with item=1).

Reply

Hi Marco,

Thanks for providing the link.

I believe the issue here is the combination of autostart and setting the playlist index. Adtonomy is actually playing the preroll for item 0, the index then moves to 1 and then Adtonomy plays the preroll for that item. This is why you're seeing the preroll twice.

This is obviously not the correct behavior so I've created a ticket and we'll get started on a fix.

Thanks.

Hi Cameron... I just update to latest version of jw player (5.8) but the adtonomy item index issue still exists.
