Hi, I'm seeing a weird problem, that the url on the ad tag is setting url= of the page i was on before and not the page im actually on, is this a ima problem or an actual website problem?

Are you able to reproduce this issue using the videoJS-IMA plugin samples? Please see the attached image. I was not able to see this in the simple example.

If you cannot reproduce there, it may be an issue with your implementation. To note, it is not recommended to manually set the url= parameter. This is set by the SDK.

see my other issue, posted not long ago, the url is actually being set by SDK

spormeon commented 4 years ago

so the SDK is using document.referrer and not window.location.href. The HUGE problem occurs when some visits site, they must be pinging a url of where they came from and not of the site which they are on, which is utter madness, not too mention that you guys with adx obviously arn't paying for an add that looks like its come from facbook, even though the user is on domainx.com and anyone using Google ad manager is potentially paying for this privildge in ad manager CPM charges

If it is an SDK issue, I would recommend looking for support from the IMA SDK forum. Based on the response there, we can determine next steps to resolve the issue.
