How can I display a popup after an ad? It seems the popup only works on a video when there is no ad.

Hi Taco,
Right now you can only choose to show an ad or show a pop-up. It seems to me if you wish to show a pop-up, you should do so without showing ads, when the video is still relevant.
We might improve the actions at some point in a way which would allow both, but we have no immediate plans to make such changes.
Let us know if you’d like some custom development to make this work.

I see you have quite a few licenses with us Taco so we’ll take a second look.
Thanks, Alec
Okay, is it possible to show a second ad right after?
Basically what I want to do is show the main video, then the ad, and then a short video with an action I want them to take.
Hi Taco,
Please let me know if this workaround is working for you. If not, we’ll figure something else out. Your use case should work and if it doesn’t know, we’ll make sure it does.

It won’t work, as the videos are dynamic, i.e. there are 100 videos that can play first, and then followed by a random ad. Basically, I have the choice of redoing all my video ads and add the part I need to always show at the end, or show another ad after, or show a popup.
It would be great to be able to enter more than one ad in the postroll attribute like so postroll=”3,6″ where it would first play 3 and then 6. Then I could make the first a variable and the second one hardcoded.
Hi Taco,
We will improve the pop-ups so that if someone is watching the post-roll ad and skips the ad, s/he will get the pop-up.

This is an interesting idea but we are slowly getting into VAST/VPAID adserver territory. FV Player Pro built-in ad system was conceived to be a lightweight, easy-to-understand and easy-to-use way for publishers to show ads for their own or partner’s products and services.
If we make the built-in ad serve capabilities too complex, they become overwhelming and effectively useless.
That said, we could do some custom development here for you to add functionality which make your workflow easier.
We plan to improve pop-up behaviour generally (and specifically when following a video ad). Is that enough for you or would you like to add some custom behaviour?

Hello Taco,
The improved behavior is now part of FV Player 8 and it’s Pro plugin. The Pro plugin FV Player Pro 8 has to be in its Beta version.
You can check the new improved behavior on on demos page Pre-roll Custom Video Ads -> “Video with a post-roll ad and an End of video popup”.
Thanks,
Martin
