#IMA SDK Plugin for Video.js
##Introduction The IMA SDK Plugin for Video.js provides a quick and easy IMA SDK integration for the Video.js player.
The framework is currently in beta, allowing interested developers to try it out and send feedback before we finalize the APIs and features.
To see the plugin in action, check out our samples.
##Features
- Easily integrate the Google IMA SDK into Video.js to enable advertising on your video content.
##Requirements
- Your favorite text editor
- A JavaScript enabled browser
##Getting started The easiest way to get started is by using npm.
npm install videojs-ima
If you don't use npm, you can download the source from the src/ folder and include it directly in your project. You'll also need to download the source for the videojs-contrib-ads plugin.
In your index.html file, create a new video.js player and load a (currently empty) javascript file:
<html>
<head>
<!-- Load dependent stylesheets. -->
<link href="//vjs.zencdn.net/4.5/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/videojs.ads.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/videojs.ima.css" />
</head>
<body>
<video id="content_video" class="video-js vjs-default-skin"
controls preload="auto" width="YOUR_VIDEO_WIDTH" height="YOUR_VIDEO_HEIGHT">
<source src="PATH_TO_YOUR_CONTENT_VIDEO" type="YOUR_CONTENT_VIDEO_TYPE" />
</video>
<!-- Load dependent scripts -->
<script src="//vjs.zencdn.net/4.5/video.js"></script>
<script src="//imasdk.googleapis.com/js/sdkloader/ima3.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/videojs.ads.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/videojs.ima.js"></script>
<script src="player.js"></script>
</body>
</html>In player.js, load the ads library and set up the IMA plugin:
var player = videojs('content_video');
var options = {
id: 'content_video',
adTagUrl: 'YOUR_AD_TAG'
};
player.ima(options);
player.ima.requestAds();
// On mobile devices, you must call initializeAdDisplayContainer as the result
// of a user action (e.g. button click). If you do not make this call, the SDK
// will make it for you, but not as the result of a user action. For more info
// see our examples, all of which are set up to work on mobile devices.
// player.ima.initializeAdDisplayContainer();
player.play();That's all there is to it!
The plugin accepts additional settings beyond the two required settings shown in the previous snippet. A summary of all settings follows:
{
id: <string> REQUIRED The id of your video player
adTagUrl: <string> REQUIRED A URL which returns a VAST response
adsRenderingSettings: <Object> JSON object with ads rendering settings as defined in the IMA SDK Docs(1).
contribAdsSettings: <Object> Additional settings to be passed to the contrib-ads plugin(2), used by this IMA plugin.
debug: <boolean> True to load the debug version of the plugin, false to load the non-debug version. Defaults to false.
locale: <string> Locale for ad localization. This may be any ISO 639-1 (two-letter) or ISO 639-2 (three-letter) code(3). Defaults to 'en'.
nonLinearWidth: <Number> Desired width of non-linear ads. Defaults to player width.
nonLinearHeight: <Number> Desired height for non-linear ads. Defaults to 1/3 player height.
showCountdown: <boolean> Whether or not to show the ad countdown timer. Defaults to true.
