Pre roll problem

1 reply [Last post]

Hi all,

We have the adtonomy’s player implemented in our page Formulatv.com, for instance in this url:http://www.formulatv.com/videos/1419/calista-flockhart-se-afeita-la-cabeza-en-cinco-hermanos/. This player uploads an adv. Pre-roll before showing the video. This pre roll is configured making a call to an ad server (Utarget) and this ad server gives back an XML with all the pre-roll’s parameters.
Our problem is that sometimes the player uploads the pre roll, and sometimes it doesn’t. Whenever we refresh the page or change from one video to another…
At first, we thought the problem was that the url gave back a blank call or a wrong XML, but it is not, it always gives back the right XML.
The problem is that the player sometimes uploads the pre roll and sometimes don’t.
We upload the pre roll with this parameter:
'http://www.utarget.co.uk/utpod/chooseAd.aspx?cid=1869&pick=true&impCount=true&of=adtonomy');

Could somebody help us, please?

Thanks in advance,

Francisco

Hi Francisco,

This is Ethan from LongTail here to help you.

I noticed the issue on your site. I did some investigating with FireBug and it looks like you are missing a crossdomain.xml file in this location - http://vid5.formulatv.com/crossdomain.xml

Putting one there might solve the problem. Here is more information about crossdomain.xml files - http://wiki.longtailvideo.com/wiki/index.php/Crossdomain.xml

Please email me directly at ethan [at] longtailvideo [dot] com to follow up if you have any other questions, thank you.

Best Regards,
