IMA SDK Plugin for Video.js

Introduction

The IMA SDK Plugin for Video.js provides a quick and easy IMA SDK integration for the Video.js player.

To see the plugin in action, check out our samples.

Features

Easily integrate the Google IMA SDK into Video.js to enable advertising on your video content.

Requirements

Your favorite text editor
A JavaScript enabled browser

Getting started

The easiest way to get started is by using npm.

npm install videojs-ima

If you don't use npm, you can download the source from the dist/ folder and include it directly in your project. You'll also need to download the source for the videojs-contrib-ads plugin.

In your index.html file, create a new video.js player and load a (currently empty) javascript file:

<html>
  <head>
    <!-- Load dependent stylesheets. -->
    <link href="path/to/video-js.css" rel="stylesheet">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/videojs-contrib-ads.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/videojs.ima.css" />
  </head>

  <body>
    <video id="content_video" class="video-js vjs-default-skin"
        controls preload="auto" width="YOUR_VIDEO_WIDTH" height="YOUR_VIDEO_HEIGHT">
      <source src="PATH_TO_YOUR_CONTENT_VIDEO" type="YOUR_CONTENT_VIDEO_TYPE" />
    </video>
    <!-- Load dependent scripts -->
    <script src="/path/to/video.js"></script>
    <script src="//imasdk.googleapis.com/js/sdkloader/ima3.js"></script>
    <script src="/path/to/videojs-contrib-ads.js"></script>
    <script src="/path/to/videojs.ima.js"></script>
    <script src="player.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

In player.js, load the ads library and set up the IMA plugin:

var player = videojs('content_video');

var options = {
  id: 'content_video',
  adTagUrl: 'YOUR_AD_TAG'
};

player.ima(options);
// On mobile devices, you must call initializeAdDisplayContainer as the result
// of a user action (e.g. button click). If you do not make this call, the SDK
// will make it for you, but not as the result of a user action. For more info
// see our examples, all of which are set up to work on mobile devices.
// player.ima.initializeAdDisplayContainer();

That's all there is to it!

Disable automatic ad break playback

In some circumstances you may want to prevent the SDK from playing ad breaks until you're ready for them. In this scenario, you can disable automatic playback of ad breaks in favor of letting the SDK know when you're ready for an ad break to play. To do so:

Set autoPlayAdBreaks to false in the initial options.
Provide an ad break ready listener via setAdBreakReadyListener.
Call player.ima.playAdBreak() in your ad break ready listener when you're ready to play the ads.
