Support VAST/VPAID JS media

[bkolo]

It would be helpful to see an example or sample code of the vast/vpaid plugin working.

I have tried setting the vastAdsType, vastAdTagUrl as well as adsPrerollMediaUrl[] but the best I could get was the ad plugin calling the vast ad and raising an error "Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: The element has no supported sources".

regards, Bob

I shouldn't call it new, but now that vpaid/flash is almost extinct, vpaid ads are referencing .js instead of .swf as they are more cross platform friendly.

Do you happen to know which version this VAST URL is?

[bkolo]

This is Vast 2.0 still. The main difference is in the Creatives > Creative > Linear > MediaFiles > MediaFile

And those JS should be instantiated at the end of body? I'm just not familiarized with that structure

[bkolo]

Sorry, I am not certain whether it is instantiated at end of body or not. Here is an example page. http://mailonline.github.io/videojs-vast-vpaid/index_5.html

Just as an FYI I'm working on improving the VAST plugin; I don't like the idea of supporting Flash but I'll definitely work on supporting JS from the tags. If you have any more samples I can use to test this I'd appreciate it. Also the plugin should support VAST 2 and 3 and VPAID

Also include #22 in this thread

@bkolo and @skoften I'd like to implement Google IMA SDK for this but it's still on Beta. Let's wait so they have support for 3.0 to make the migration to this library
