vast tags are not displaying

[Solved]

  • Grunt S. 10 years, 5 months ago

    It seems that I cannot get my vast tag from LKQD.com to work. I’ve replaced all the url tags but it’s still coming up as no ads found… Any suggestions?

    Hello Jon,

    I had a look here: http://gruntstuff.com/do-you-even-infantry-bro-gs/

    I see you put in __player-width__ and __player-height__ properly, but you haven’t taken care of the other argument – ua and ip. However these should be not needed as we are not using a server side parsing for the ad. rnd=random_number should certainly be changed to rnd=__random-number__

    I got no ads as well, but we are in Europe, so that’s normal. I tried a VPN in USA and it still wouldn’t load.

    I even tried to switch the ad from output=vast to output=vpaid, but no dice.

    Could you please:

    1) Ask your ad provider for a test ad? They might have not enough ads in rotation to be able to show an ad on each video play, but the test ad should work all the time.

    2) Ask your provider for some documentation for all the parameters which they use in the ad URL?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Sarah,

    your ad URL looks like its not intended for web browsers – it contains the IP address field, appname, bundleip or appstoreurl arguments which all sound like it should be used in mobile phone apps.

    Could you please check that with your ad network?

    Thanks,
    Martin

    Hello Sarah,

    You can also try this test VAST tag from LKQD and see if it works. It should load an ad in the pre-roll.

    Hi Sathish,

    You are right, I tested the tag outside our domain and it didn’t work, so it’s probably for foliovision.com only. I acquired it by asking their support (support@lkqd.com), so you might do the same and they will create a test tag for you.

    Thanks,
    Eduard
