Ad Server questions: Using AdSpeed

[mgilliatt2]

Before switching from DP to Scenegraph, I was using an AdSpeed server with my channel. Can you point me to instructions for adding that to the channel I've converted. Everything else seems to work.

Could you quote a price for working on my channel when this is completed? I have lots of individual song videos in some playlists and I'd like them to play one following the until interrupted by the user. Again, DP worked that way, and I've gotten some complaints. It isn't a bug, just a preference.

Also, would you be able to quote the addition of an "AdTag" tag, so that I could add them to my JSON file and have the program call for an ad at a specified time during the program? For instance, a 25 minute program could start with a pre-roll, stop 7 minutes in for a couple commercials, play another 7 minutes or so and play another couple. I think I'd prefer to manually add them to the JSON so the program could ignore them if they aren't present. It would be great if I could specify multiple ads, too.

Hello mgilliatt

can you share your JSON file

The Wiki contains most of the answers to your questions.

You can add the url of your ad server when you run the Channel Wizard. However, keep in mind that your ad server must be able to serve 'ad pods'. The code generated by the wizard does not support client side ad stitching.

Sorry, I do not provide consulting support. Perhaps one of the users of this project can help.

You can use the Channel Feed Manager suite of tools to create and mange your feed file. With the CFM, you can specify 'ad breaks' within your JSON fee file. Again, please read the CFM Wiki for more info.

@mgilliatt2 do you still need help?

I don't, but I should have let you know what I was doing wrong. The only things I needed were were adBreak tags. Once I added those it began to function perfectly.
