Adtech pre post roll

4 replies [Last post]

Hi,

while we are using adtech 'Minimal Configuration'(http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/open-video-ads/ova-for-flowplayer/13420/minimal-configuration) it is working fine.

But when we are change the configuration details what adtech provided it is stop showing pre, post roll.

There is no place for tag where we define related video tags for pre, post roll.

adtech just gave us a link and we have no idea how to integrate it with jwplayer (http://adserver.adtech.de/?advideo/3.0/72.74/3325704/0//cc=2;vidAS=myspottype;vidDIM=widthxheight;vi... )

Thanks a lot,
Vinay

Hi Vinay,

So it's pretty straight forward I think... All you need to do is:

{
    "ads": {
         "schedule": [
                 {
                      "position": "pre-roll",
                      "tag": "put-the-ad-tech-url-in-here"
                 },
                 {
                      "position": "post-roll",
                      "tag": "put-the-ad-tech-url-in-here"
                 }
            ]
     }
}

But, make sure you are running RC5 (the latest release) from the OVA developer site (http://developer.longtailvideo.com/ova - register on their and grab RC5 from the Download the Latest page)... the "tag" option is only available in the later releases...

Hi Paul,

Very thanks for reply.

It is working fine but it always fetching a coffee add.

How we can get add on the bases of page type or video type.
Ex: If health page or health video, add will be related to health.

Please look at once:

Hi Vinay,

This is really an ad server question.

You need to talk with your ad provider to get ad tags that are relevant for your need and a definition of the additional information that is needed to be added to the ad tag to tell the ad provider what type of ad you want.

OVA can add information to ad tags based on custom variables, but you need to know how to add that information to the ad tag before it can do that.

At the moment, you've specified static adtech ad tags that always returns the same coffee ad. If you put that in two ad spots, you'll get two coffee ads.

So it's something you need to discuss with your ad provider - once you've got a clear handle on what additional information is needed in the ad tag to vary the response, let me know and I'll help show you how to customise an ad tag at runtime during the OVA runtime ad tag variables...
