Adserver vs. Player


What's the role of a an adserver and a player when defining e.g. skippable ad, skippable after x seconds, countdown, ad labeling. Is this Information coming from the adserver or is it part of the player? Are different creatives for the different uses cases necessary? Thanky

Hello,

You will want to get started with our documentation here to understand the various ways that ads are delivered, and what JW supports:

https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1431638

With regards to what you list above:
skippable ad, skippable after x seconds, countdown, ad labeling

Depending on whether you are using VAST, Googima, or VPAID ad tags:

VAST: You are able to configure skipping via the player
Googima: Skipping must be configured in the DFP dashboard, skippable Googima ads do not play on mobile
VPAID: Skippable will be configured in the ad creative, we suggest using Javascript creative for the best cross-browser, cross-device support

Our ad tag tester here:
https://developer.jwplayer.com/tools/ad-tester/

includes some sample ad tags that demonstrate the behavior of a few different ad types we support.

Hope this helps.

Heidi
