JW-OAS: should be able to specify if preroll video is scaled or not

[GoogleCodeExporter]

when playing a preroll flv that does not match the size of the current 
player window, the flv is scaled to best fit the window. on large player 
windows, the results can be pretty ugly. 

as it seems there is no way to prevent scaling for prerolls.

After investigation it seems that the elements of the original playlist, after
manipulation by OAS, have a scaling value that is an Object rather than a 
string.

{url:'/path/file.flv' scaling:{value:'fit'}}

rather than the expected:

{url:'/path/file.flv' scaling:'fit'}

The Inline Ad elements are properly constructed but always set to 'scale'.

My previous comment is actually referring to the Flowplayer implementation.

Sorting for FP 0.5.0 RC2

• Changed state: Started

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Sorted for FP 0.5.0 RC2 - ads can now be scaled if they have the scaling values 
in the VAST response and the 
appropriate scaling option is turned on in the config - e.g.

    enforceLinearInteractiveAdScaling:Boolean:false;
    enforceLinearVideoAdScaling:Boolean:false;

See linear interactive ad examples for this working in action. Also scaling 
setting on playlist confirmed to be 
working properly in this RC (by the way, the clip.scaling value is an Object of 
MediaType as per the way that 
Flowplayer do it on the API)

Looking into JW scaling - not sure it's possible. Asking..

Have implemented for JW 5.x - just confirming though that the options are 
right... and the JW API refers to 
"image" scaling not video so I'm not 100% sure it works yet
