Auto Refresh VAST Ads on OPenPLayerJs

To auto-refresh VAST ads on OpenPlayerJs, you can utilize the player’s built-in ad management features. One approach is to use the reset method provided by OpenPlayerJs to reset the VAST ad after a certain interval. This can be achieved by setting a timer to call the reset method periodically.

Here’s an example code snippet in JavaScript:

player.on('adEnd', function() {
  setTimeout(function() {
    player.vastReset();
  }, 30000); // 30 seconds
});

This code listens for the adEnd event, which is triggered when the current ad finishes playing. Once the ad ends, it sets a timer to call the vastReset method after 30 seconds, effectively refreshing the ad.

Another approach is to use the playVast method to play a new VAST ad after a certain interval. This can be achieved by setting a timer to call the playVast method periodically.

Here’s an example code snippet in JavaScript:

setInterval(function() {
  player.playVast({
    tagURL: "path-to-vast-tag.xml",
    id: 'vast_1'
  });
}, 30000); // 30 seconds

This code sets a timer to call the playVast method every 30 seconds, playing a new VAST ad each time.

You can also use the vastAds method to play multiple VAST ads in a playlist, and then use the reset method to refresh the ad playlist.

Here’s an example code snippet in JavaScript:

player.vastAds([
  { tagURL: "preroll-1-ad-tag-url", id: 'vast_1' },
  { tagURL: "midroll-1-ad-tag-url", id: 'vast_2', timeOffset: "00:15" },
  { tagURL: "midroll-2-ad-tag-url", id: 'vast_3', timeOffset: '00:45' }
]);

setInterval(function() {
  player.vastReset();
}, 30000); // 30 seconds

This code sets up a VAST ad playlist with multiple ads, and then sets a timer to call the vastReset method every 30 seconds, refreshing the ad playlist.

Note that you can customize the ad refresh interval and behavior to suit your specific use case.
