Unable to play M3U8 type Ad Creative

Closed this issue 3 years ago · 5 comments

I integrated the VideoJS and IMA libraries and able to see the content playback working which is of type M3U8 but when I provided and Ad Tag that has a Creative with M3U8 type of ads, I am not seeing the AD playback. I tried in Advanced example and it fails there too saying something like Missing Video Capabilities.

I am wondering if this isnt supported or am I missing setting up any configuration to make M3U8 type of ads to play.

Hi @shyamvala ,

Would you be able to share VAST or a vast URL that can reproduce the issue?

Absolutely, sharing the URL to you on email. I just added mimeType to the options via adRenderingSettings and its launching in Safari but not in Chrome. Not sure why that is, i can see the content playing which is in m3u8 format but not the ad. Anyways I sent the email with subject same as this issues, appreciate your time on this. Thank you.
