User Agent in VAST URL

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player VAST › Requests and Feedback › User Agent in VAST URL

  • Wilhan 9 years, 1 month ago

    Hi,

    I have two new VAST providers to add on the player but they need receive the user agent on their tags:

    http://my-ad-provider.com/ad?pid=1234&sid=1234&env=1&format=1&width=%5BWIDTH%5D&height=%5BHEIGHT%5D&dnt=%5BDO_NOT_TRACK%5D&output=vast&ip=%5BURL_ENCODED_IP_ADDRESS%5D&ua=%5BURL_ENCODED_USER_AGENT%5D&rnd=%5BCACHEBUSTER%5D&pageurl=%5BURL_ENCODED_PAGEURL%5D

    Could you please let me know how can I do that?

    Thanks,

    Wilhan

    Hello Wilhan,

    we will add support for this.

    We do have a URL tag for IP address, but it will actually return empty as this is not a server-side implementation. Is it really needed for your ad?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Most of adservers aren’t using this yet, but, this is an important info for the ones that already have support because with the ip the adserver can target the impressions by GEO.

    Thanks alot about the user agent added on the last update of the vast plugin, but, looks like the download isn’t available yet.

    Hello Wilhan,

    I see what you mean but the VAST URL is already requested by the client’s browser, so I don’t see a need to send over IP as another argument. JavaScript doesn’t know what is the user IP, so we would have to write a separate script to get it and it would have to work with caching plugins as well.

    Thank you for the error report. I noticed the issue with the upgrade not working, so I haven’t announced the new version yet. We are looking into it already.

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Wilhan,

    there was an issue with the JS minify engine we are using, I had to ask support to get it fixed.

    Now FV Player VAST 0.6.6 is ready for your upgrade. If you don’t see if you can get a copy of it at https://foliovision.com/my-licenses

    Thanks,
    Martin
