Ad Plugin

This is a special video plugin that integrates example ads (i.e. pre-rolls, mid-rolls, and post-rolls) into a video. It can be used as a template for integrating different ad providers. The plugin can be used with version 0.1.146 or higher.

Usage

The plugin must be loaded with a video URL. Optionally, the content type and GUID can be indicated. Please see following action syntax example.

• video:plugin:http://msx.benzac.de/plugins/ad.html?url={URL}&type={TYPE}&guid={GUID}

If you would like to use the plugin as reference to implement your own plugin, please have a look at these implementation scripts:

• http://msx.benzac.de/plugins/js/ad-manager.js

Syntax

type	string	"video"	No	The type of the content. "video": Video content. "audio": Audio content. If this type is set, the plugin will not serve any ads.
