flowplayer-vast
VAST 2.0 support within Flowplayer 6 HTML
Note: This project is a work in progress and may not fulfill all of the VAST 2.0 spec yet.
Behavior
- Create a flowplayer instance like you normally would (make sure you use the playlist feature).
- Invoke the attach method to start the vast loading process.
- The player will will until the vast load has completed (or failed) and rewrite the playlist.
- Only the first video returned in the VAST response is used.
- If the creative is of type "application/javascript" the playlist is left as is and the event vpaid_js is invoked on the player object.
- The player will be locked until the ad has been viewed then removed from the playlist.
Simple Usage
This plugin requires that you use the flowplayer playlist functionality.
var vast = require('flowplayer-vast');
var container = document.getElementById('div');
var player = flowplayer(container, {
playlist: [],
wmode: 'transparent' // support onclick event for IE for ad clicks
});
vast.init(container, player, 'http://serer.com/vast.xml');
Advanced Usage
var vast = require('flowplayer-vast');
var container = document.getElementById('div');
var playlist = [];
vast.loadPreroll(container, 'http://serer.com/vast.xml', function(preroll){
if (preroll && preroll.video) {
playlist.unshift(preroll.video);
}
var player = flowplayer(container, {
playlist: playlist,
wmode: 'transparent' // support onclick event for IE for ad clicks
});
if (preroll) {
vast.attachEvents(container, player);
// if you have the flowplayer-vpaid plugin setup
if (preroll.swf) {
return player.trigger('vpaid_swf', [preroll.swf]);
}
if (preroll.js) {
return player.trigger('vpaid_js', [preroll.js]);
}
}
});
VPAID (JS)
To support vpaid responses for javascript, you can either use the flowplayer-vpaid project or implement your own like so:
player.on('vpaid_js', function (e, config) {
// configure vpaid environment
});
