FailoverServers and VAST responses

3 replies [Last post]

I'm having some trouble getting the failoverServers functionality to work correctly. I download the RC3 version for Flowplayer (0.6.0) but I can't get the failoverServer functionality to actually engage. I turned on debugging and I can see it make the initial request to the "server", but it never attempts to query any of the failoverServers.

Any advice would be appreciated.

P.S. I can't get this to post with the configuration included. I keep hitting the spam filter.

Hi Murray,

Would you mind emailing me a URL that shows your setup running, or your config (so I can run it here) to enquiries@openvideoads.org.

I'm sure it's something simple - fire it over and let's see what's going on...

Paul,

I emailed you my configuration. Thanks.

Thanks...

So it took me a while to find the issue.

Turns out, your config is wrong...

"failoverServers" needs to be part of the "server" definition, not outside of it.

See this example:

You should have:

   customProperties: {
       target: [ "condition="]
   },
   failoverServers: [
   {
      ...

I'm sure if you change the config that will work - I tested it... ;)
