External Skip Linear Ad

5 replies [Last post]

hi,

i wonder if we can skip linear ads externally via the JS api. the idea here is showing the skip ad button after 10 seconds.

i have created a function called "onLinearAdStart" for OVA to fire and in there i have a setTimeout call, however I do not know how to close the ad and start playing the video.

please guide my way here.

thanks in advance.

Hiya... I actually have the API call declared - skipAd() - but I haven't actually implemented it :O

It's a very quick job for me to implement it, but I'm in the middle of a major change and can't check-in for 24 hours.

Are you ok if I get this in within the next 24 hours?

Yes, it's implemented. If you email me, I can ship you a version that you can start testing with, but it's a long way from being production ready.

The build has very large changes in other areas that are very unstable.. but feel free to email and grab a copy for testing...

PS: The Javascript skipAd() call will only work with linear ad streams, not VPAID - hope that's ok...
