Hi all.
I have the following issue with the ova plugin on one site.
Somehow the player plays the video using the center of the player as te top-left corner of the ad.
You can check this on
The little video zone under the main ustream video.
Thanks for any help I've looked at the code code and everything seems ok.
PS: It sounds like a scaling issue so I think it's just a case of seeing what scaling is set on the VAST response and setting the right params in OVA - hence why I need to see the actual ad running ;)

Actually, on that note, it's probably worth upgrading to OVA RC5 from the OVA developer site and look at section 19 of the RC5 release note:
http://developer.longtailvideo.com/ova/wiki/OvaReleaseNote-0.5.0-RC5
Section 19 describes the new linear scaling configuration options supported by RC5 so I suspect if you turn on of those settings on, the ad will be scaled.
Thinking aloud..

Hi paul, I've tried with the params on linear scaling and no luck so far, here is the generated xml by the tag here on my country (I have ads here, I guess those are geo targeted to Americas).

</config> Hi - can you let me know what version of OVA you are running - is it 1.0.0 RC5?
Paul
Hi Carlos,
Just looking into this...
Unfortunately your ad tag seems to be geo-targeted. I'm in the UK and get the following response on the ad tag:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <VAST version="2.0"></VAST><!-- 31 GB_LONDON_0_LONDON -->Would you mind emailing me a copy of the VAST response for your ad tag and I'll configure a player instance here and run it to see what's happening... ?
Email it to enquiries@openvideoads.org
Paul
