Hi support,
I’m testing out the VAST pluggin on WP. A question for you;
1. I’m trying to show 2 different ads at various times in the video. Here is video shortcode I configured (below) but ads not showing. I’m I doing something wrong? I want the first ad to show at pre-roll and at 10 secs of playback. The second ad I want it to play at 15secs and 20secs of playback.
[fvplayer src="https://dh0es34san8r1.cloudfront.net/Films/Tjitji/Tjitji+hls.m3u8" vast="https://servedbyadbutler.com/vast.spark?setID=4313&ID=168850&pid=42495" midroll="0,10" vast=" https://servedbyadbutler.com/vast.spark?setID=4362&ID=168850&pid=42812" midroll="15,20"splash="https://www.afrolandtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/rsz_tjitji.jpg"]

Hello Mike,
unfortunatelly this is not supported by FV Player VAST, you can only set it to load the ad from the same URL as different times:
[fvplayer src="https://dh0es34san8r1.cloudfront.net/Films/Tjitji/Tjitji+hls.m3u8" vast="https://servedbyadbutler.com/vast.spark?setID=4313&ID=168850&pid=42495" midroll="0,10,15,20" splash="https://www.afrolandtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/rsz_tjitji.jpg"]
We count on the ad server to provide different ad each time.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin,
Thanks for the response and answer!
Unfortunately I tried the tag you reconfigured and player only plays the pre-roll ad and not at 10,15,20 secs

Hello Mike,
You are right, the player loads only the first ad. We’ll work on this and let you know as soon as it’s fixed.
Thanks,
Eduard
Thanks Eduard, looking forward to the update.
Cheers
Hi Eduard,
Any updates on this issue?
Thanks
Michael
Hi Michael,
We are planning to work on this today, or tomorrow at latest.
Thanks,
Eduard
Hello Michael,
FV Player VAST 0.7.1 is out and it fixes the issue. You can see it in action on https://foliovision.com/player/demos/vast-ads -> “Skippable VAST ad in mid-roll at 0:30 and 2:00”
We should also add support for this for mobile devices.
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin,
Thank you for the update! I did update the pluggin and tested it out to no luck. Have have it set to an ad showing at 10 secs and 30 secs
Here is the link – https://www.afrolandtv.com/issue-page/
Shortcode I’m using
[fvplayer src="https://dh0es34san8r1.cloudfront.net/Shows/Trailers/This+is+it/This+is+it+Trailer+hls.m3u8" midroll="10,30" splash="https://www.afrolandtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Show-Poster.jpg"]Thanks
Hello Michael,
could you please check what happens when you disable Autoptimize JavaScript optimization? I see you have FV Player VAST debug enabled, yet I see no messages from it.
The thing is FV Player has to be loaded before FV Player VAST and perhaps Autoptimize adjusts that order?
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin,
I just tried disabling autoptimize and the VAST still had same issue.
Would you like my backend credentials to furthur investigate this?
Cheers
Hi Support
We’re still experiencing the same issue. Mid rolls only play for the first slot and disregards the other slots
here is the code i’m using
[fvplayer src="https://dh0es34san8r1.cloudfront.net/Shows/Trailers/This+is+it/This+is+it+Trailer+hls.m3u8" midroll="5,10" splash="https://www.afrolandtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Show-Poster.jpg"]
here is the issue link

Hello Mike,
seems like your message from 3 days ago was not answered, sorry about that!
I opened your site and I can see you have enabled FV Player VAST debugging mode, but I still see Autoptimize is also enabled.
However currently I’m getting these video ads playing. I tried to load the page three times and it always worked. I used Chrome 61 on Windows 10 and Firefox on Windows 10.
If you check the browser JavaScript console (here’s how: https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors#Step_3:_Diagnosis ), you should see this when you play the video and it comes to the midroll time:
FV VAST load (0,html5) https://servedbyadbutler.com/vast.spark?setID=4313&ID=168850&pid=42495
VAST Ads init.
VAST Ads loaded.
VAST Ad event: loaded
VAST Ad event: contentPauseRequested
VAST Ad ContentPauseRequested for real!
VAST Ad event: impression
VAST Ad event: start
…
VAST Ad event: allAdsCompletedI think now I know why your question was not answered, I remember asking you more details about Autoptimize, but I guess I just never sent it by accident –
We used Autoptimize before and didn’t had issues with it, but we then switched back to using WP Rocket JS/CSS combine and minify features.
But now that your video ads play for me, I don’t think there is an issue with Autoptimize here. Only thing I wouldn’t recommend in it is only excluding FV Player scripts from it and not excluding FV Player VAST or vice versa. But that doesn’t seem to be the case here.
Are you sure you are not using any ad blocker?
Thanks,
Martin
Hi Martin,
Just verified and seems to be now working! We’ll monitor over the weekend and if anything changes we’ll let you know. Thanks a bunch for your help.
Cheers,
