Setting up VAST player with both pre-roll and post-roll ads

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player VAST › Requests and Feedback › Setting up VAST player with both pre-roll and post-roll ads

  • Kobus 8 years, 5 months ago

    Hi guys

    We’re currently successfully serving pre-roll ads on the VAST player through DFP. We now want to add post-rolls to our videos as well.

    The only options I can find to do this are here: /wp-admin/options-general.php?page=fv_player_vast. Only the method to add a mid-roll is described: “Linear ad placement – Add midroll=”60,600″ to your shortcode to show your ads as mid-roll at 60 seconds and 1 hour (600 seconds) in the main video.”

    How do I add a post-roll? See attached.

    Thank you
    Kobus

    Hi Kobus,

    To set up the post-roll, just use the midroll=”” tag in the shortcode and set the ad start on the last second of your video. Take a look at this demo.

    Thanks,
    Eduard

    Hi Eduard

    Thank you for the feedback. The problem is that all the videos on our website have different durations. This is not a solution for us.

    Do you maybe have a different solution please?

    Best

    Hi Kobus,

    Right now, we are working on integrating a global setting for both pre-rolls and post-rolls, that will be available in the plugin’s settings. It should be in the next update, that will come out in a week or two.

    Thanks,
    Eduard

    Any follow-up on this?

    Hello Libby,

    unfortunately no, we got bogged down by some other tasks and there was not enough demand for this.

    I think to keep it simple this could work as a simple global setting for start (like “Show ad in pre-roll” and “Show ad in post-roll” global settings checkboxes). Then later on we could even allow you to specify a different VAST tag for the post-roll placement.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Yeah, a checkbox is perfect. I know a few advertisers that are using Playwire because they have that functionality. So this will be a hit as it can be monetized. More incentives to your FV Player.

    Hello Libby,

    we have worked on this and on iOS it’s a bit tricky – you really just can’t start an ad without user interaction… unless the ad starts muted. So these post-roll or mid-roll ads will just play with no sound unless user hits the unmute button.

    Thanks,
    Martin
