Is it possible to play multiple preroll ads before the video starts using FV VAST and YouTube playlists?
What I want is:
preroll 1
perroll 2
video
midroll1
midroll2
rest of video
postroll 1
postroll2I’m using this shortcode on my site:
[fvplayer src="my-youtube-playlist-url" liststyle="vertical"]I have a VAST tag from Google Ad Manager.
I don’t want to waterfall ads, I want to play 2 or 3 consecutive ads before the video starts.

Hello Charvalis,
Yes, this is possible to do. There are two ways to do so.
-
VMAP (This is what VMAP is: https://www.iab.com/guidelines/vmap/) And Google supports it: https://developers.google.com/interactive-media-ads/docs/sdks/html5/client-side/tags

Via FV Player VAST. You can set the time triggers for ads via the shortcode parameters. For example: midroll=”0,30,60″. Which in your case you’d put them a second apart. In your case, you’d use the midroll parameter to all the ads. For example: midroll=”0,1,30,31,60,61″. It is less conventional, but it should work just fine.
Hope this helps.

MariaHi, I’m trying to implement this using VMAP. In the FV PLayer VAST settings I’m using this for the VAST tag:
When I test this tag using a VAST inspector I see the ads as expected, but on my site they do not play before the video.
I’m not asking you to troubleshoot this, I just wanted to know if there was any way to view any detailed VAST errors using the plugin?
Hello Charvalis,
You should be able to see VAST related events and errors in your browsers console. Here’s how to work with the browser console: https://foliovision.com/player/troubleshooting/browser-console
And here’s the list of possible errors: https://foliovision.com/player/fv-player-vast-vpaid/vast-vpaid-tools/errors-causes-resolutionsIf in doubt, let us know if and what errors you find. We’ll be glad to help.
