VAST ads not showing multiple ads on player

[Solved]

Foliovision › Forums › FV Player VAST › Troubleshooting › VAST ads not showing multiple ads on player

  • mapongamike 7 years, 7 months ago

    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"]

    Thanks for support

    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

    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

    Would you like my backend credentials to furthur investigate this?

    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: allAdsCompleted

    I 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
