Hello,
We are looking for the following:
- a hosting platform for our videos that we need to embed in our website
- the posibillity to show our own ads before and after a video
It is not clear which products we need to achieve this.
Is it enough to get a Bits on the run account and get a license for Adtonomy? Or do we also need to purchase the JW player? This seems strange since Bits on the Run allready provides JW player that we can embed.
Kind regards,
John
We've purchased the Bits on the Run account and the Adtonomy plug in.
The video is working, but we can't get the ad to display before the video.
We've uploaded the video to our bits on the run account and embedded it in an HTML-file. This works.
I've set up the Adtonomy config-file as described in the documentation of Adtonomy. All files and the flv-file which is used for the pre roll ad are uploaded to the server.
How do you set up the link between adtonomy and bits on the run? I assume this is done via the "Custom Properties" tab in Bits on the run? we've set up two name/value pairs:
1. plugins / adtvideo
2. adtvideo.config / [full-path-to-the-config.xml file]
adtonomy config.xml ("mydomain" and "targeturl" have been changed for this post)
<ad-program>
<ad id="ad2" type="video" title="Ad 2" description="Description for Ad 2">
<ad_video length="0:30" url="http://www.mydomain.com/sg/flvtest.flv"
type="video/flv" scalable="true"/>
<destination url="http://www.targeturl.com"/>
</ad>
<spot id="preroll_spot" type="video" timing="pre"/>
<controls show_pause="true" show_skip="true" show_mute="true"
static_message="A message from our sponsors" countdown_message="Your video will resume in
00 seconds." countdown_key="00"/>
</ad-program>
Hope you can help us, we are on a tight deadline :-)
I suspect you're running into crossdomain file loading restrictions. This page explains how to deal with it: http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player/jw-player-for-flash-v5/12541/crossdomain-file-loading...
Hello, thanks for your response. However, it still doesn't work.
We put the following crossdomain.xml file in the root:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.adobe.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*" />
</cross-domain-policy>
We've checked all links in the config.xml file and also the link which is configured in the "Custom Properties" tab in Bits on the run.
Regards,
John
The page with the video is here: http://tinyurl.com/6g9y6g4
There the ad we set up on pre roll isn't displayed.
The other files are located in the same directory as above:
/config.xml
/crossdomain.xml
/flvtest.flv
So the problem is that you added the plugin configuration to the custom vars of the video
Plugin information should be configured in the custom vars of the player instead.
Thanks Remco, the problem is fixed based on your last remark!
When you use Bits on the Run, the use of the Bits on the Run player is included in the price, so you will only need an advertising plugin and Bits on the Run.
