Properties

integration: "google-ima"

The integration of the ad break.

omidAccessModeRules?: Record<number, string>

Optional settings object for mapping verification vendors (google.ima.OmidVerificationVendor) to OMID Access Modes (google.ima.OmidAccessMode).

replaceContent?: boolean

Whether the ad replaces playback of the content.

Remarks


- When the ad ends, the content will resume at the ad break's offset plus its duration.

Default Value


- true for live content,
- false for VOD content.

sources: string | AdSource

The source of the ad

Remarks


- VAST, VMAP and VPAID are supported.
- Overlay ads and banners are only displayed if the container element (the player) is big enough in pixels.

timeOffset?: string | number

Offset after which the ad break will start.

Possible formats:
- A number for the offset in seconds.
- 'start' for a preroll.
- 'end' for a postroll.
- 'HH:MM:SS.mmm' for a timestamp in the playback window.
- A percentage string (XX%) for a proportion of the content duration.

Remarks


- A timestamp which is not in the playback window will result in the ad break not being started.
- Do NOT set for VMAP ads. VMAP resources will ignore this value as they contain an internal offset. https://www.theoplayer.com/docs/theoplayer/how-to-guides/ads/how-to-set-up-vast-and-vmap/#vmap
- Since 2.18, numbers are supported for the Google IMA integration, since 2.21 other formats as well.
