Pre-roll video - What to do with invocation code

[trzczy]

I prepared zone and linked a video banner to it. I can watch the banner video there http://rigby.ga/www/admin/banner-edit.php?clientid=1&campaignid=1&bannerid=1

Then I prepared invocation code that looked like this: http://rigby.ga/www/delivery/fc.php?script=bannerTypeHtml:vastInlineBannerTypeHtml:vastInlineHtml&format=vast&nz=1&zones=pre-roll%3D1

Can you tell me what to do then. I only want to get something like "hello world" for pre-roll video. The minimal application that works.

Do I have to put the invocation code to the src attribute of an iframe html element?

Where is the place for the actual video in the code? I mean the video that shoud be prepended. Another iframe? Please help me with preparing a minimal 'hello world' for pre-roll video.

Thank you

Hi @trzczy,

It's the other way around. You don't put the video into the Revive Adserver code - rather, you put the Revive Adserver invocation code for the pre-roll video into the video player that will be playing the video.

Is it possible to put the Revive Adserver invocation code for the pre-roll video into this player?

<video width="400" autoplay>
  <source src="https://www.w3schools.com/html/movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  Your browser does not support HTML5 video.
</video>

Which way?

No idea - what video player is that? What does its documentation say about supporting pre-roll videos, and how to do it, if supported?
