Mid roll in live streaming and pause/play actions

5 replies [Last post]

Hello,

i want to display mid roll ads in a live streaming.
Currently only pre roll ads are working. The problem with mid roll ads is described in this post: http://bit.ly/lhdiNG

@Ethan LongTail provided a solution where you need to set duration to a really high value.

But the problem with that solution is that you can't stop or pause stream and hit again play button. In other words, you can hit the pause button and afterwards you can't hit the play button and resume with playing the video stream.

Is there any better solution to display mid roll ads in live streams?

Another question is, is it possible that mid roll ads stay displayed until user clicks on close button (button x) himself? Currently ads are automatically minimized after few seconds.

And some suggestion, it would be great if ads are displaying while video is in pause state.

That is the only solution there is. And no there is no other option for the 2nd question.

I think this is the same question just wondering if there was a solution found...

I have a bits on the run playlist and I want to display mid-rolls using Openx and the OVA plugin. When the mid-roll starts to play I want the orginal stream to pause so the watcher doesn't miss anything in the video.

Is that not possible? I see that the stream can be paused onClick of the ad but not onPlay of the ad?

You should post about this in the OVA Forum, this is a forum about the AdSolution, which is a separate product/service.

My apologies I will pay more attention.
