JWPlayer Plugin with IMA In-Player Contextual Ad Targeting

Overview: This details how IRIS.TV Adaptive Stream clients can implement the Contextual Video Marketplace in their JW Player with IMA3 in-player ad serving.

Contextual Ad Targeting requires the use of the IMA3 ad plugin.

If the player is set-up with autoplay, the first video will not receive context in a pre-roll ad call.

Contextual Ad Targeting can be configured to send context segments in either the "cust_params" or the "categories" parameter on the ad tag. The below documentation will walk through the requirements for both workflows.

To Send Contextual segments through "cust_params":

• Add “cust_params” macro to their DFP ad tag

• In Player Builder, Advertising settings for the player should have Ad Preloading disabled:

Open

• Add the following in the HTML config for your JW Player implementation:
