ExoPlayer v2.16.1

Samples

v4.20.1

Changes from v4.19.0

Feature

• FEC-11577 | Advertisement Layout Management

With Ad layout config, apps can create its own Ad break timeline using VAST tags. Ad break can be set as Pre, Mid and Post rolls and each Ad break can contain a single VAST tag or multiple tags, either as a AdPod, but also as a Waterfall.

Important: IMAPlugin must be active to enable this feature.

• This feature is only supported in Kaltura-Player
  See the migration guide to Kaltura-Player

Ad Layout Setup:

Application can pass the configuration before calling loadMedia on the player.

player?.setAdvertisingConfig(...) 
player?.loadMedia(...)

There are 2 ways to pass the AdvertisingConfig,

1. As an object of AdvertisingConfig
2. As JSON object

// Create list of VAST URL 
val prerollAd = listOf(PRE_ROLL_VAST_URL)

// Create Preroll AdPod
val prerollAdPod = listOf(prerollAd)

// Create AdBreak (Preroll)
val prerollAdBreak = AdBreak(AdBreakPositionType.POSITION, 0, prerollAdPod)

// Create list of VAST URL 
val midrollAd = listOf(MID_ROLL_VAST_URL)

// Create Midroll AdPod
val midrollAdPod = listOf(midrollAd)

// Create AdBreak (Midroll)
val midrollAdBreak = AdBreak(AdBreakPositionType.POSITION, 15, midrollAdPod)

// Create list of VAST URL 
val postrollAd = listOf(POST_ROLL_VAST_URL)

// Create Postroll AdPod
val postrollAdPod = listOf(postrollAd)

// Create AdBreak (Postroll)
val postrollAdBreak = AdBreak(AdBreakPositionType.POSITION, -1, postrollAdPod)

var advertisingConfig = AdvertisingConfig(listOf(prerollAdBreak, midrollAdBreak, postrollAdBreak), AdTimeUnit.SECONDS)

OR
