Here’s a sample VMAP with the timing you indicated. You can see each <vmap:AdBreak> section has a time offset and an <vmap:AdTagURI> that points to the specific VAST tag.

Hope this helps,
Todd

<vmap:VMAP xmlns:vmap="http://www.iab.net/vmap-1.0" version="1.0"> <vmap:AdBreak breakType="linear" breakId="85cac7e0fbad11e3b283fbde008b4e10" timeOffset="00:07:00"> <vmap:AdSource allowMultipleAds="true" followRedirects="true" id="1"> <vmap:AdTagURI templateType="vast3">

Ok so in order to make the pre-roll, midroll, and post roll to work where would I place the vast tag from SpotXchange to test it out?

Yes, put your ad tags in place of my adotube.com test tag. Save the file as an XML document on a web server. In your JW Platform advertising section, choose VMAP ad schedule and then paste the URL of your VMAP schedule.

So here is the link on the server where the file is uploaded

http://www.bawn.tv/Ads.xml

But the link doesn't appear to be working on our video player

Your VMAP syntax is correct, but I’m getting a cross domain error in my browser. Please see http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1403679-crossdomain-file-loading for more details.

Kind regards,

I am seeing CORS errors when our player tries to load the ad tag from virool.com. Here is the error I’m seeing:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load https://api.virool.com/vast/6ff2725?width=640&height=400&autoswitch=1http:/…evice[devicetype]=1&device[dnt]=0&ip_addr=REPLACE_ME&device[ua]=REPLACE_ME. No ‘Access-Control-Allow-Origin’ header is present on the requested resource. Origin ‘http://www.bawn.tv’ is therefore not allowed access.

They will need to allow access for your servers to access theirs (in order to load the ad tag).

You can see our support page regarding ad pods at http://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/articles/1433722-vast3-ad-pods and our XML sample is available at http://demo.jwplayer.com/advertising/assets/vast3_jw_ads.xml

For more details regarding the syntax and standards of ad pods, please see http://www.iab.net/media/file/VASTv3.0.pdf starting at page 46.

Hope this helps,
Todd
