Prerequisites

[laurieainley]

Hi,

Would it be worth adding a readme with prerequisites for players using OpenVV? I can see in the code for example that a player embedded in an iframe returns an error. As far as I can discern, the requirements for use are:

• Player embedded directly in the source page (i.e. not in an iframe)
• Applies only Flash players (is HTML5 support planned?)
• Requires ExternalInterface enabled

Are there any other requirements?

+1 This would be useful

Applies only Flash players (is HTML5 support planned?)

There is a js/OVVAsset.js script but no instructions. Also the website says "Flash and JavaScript is available on GitHub for industry review", so...

My questions as a newcommer would be

• what version of flash player do we have to compile our project to?
• is @laurieainley right about iframes not supported and ExternalInterface enabled being a requirement?

If you have answers @bdementatbrightroll @bhardie @seanmerrigan that would be nice :)
Otherwise I'll answer my own questions if/when I have answered it.

@lexoyo and @laurieainley did either of you get a private response regarding this? I"m running into some iFrame viewability issues and haven't been able to figure it out.

@jwright04 Unfortunately not. From memory, the metrics available in an iframe are considerably more limited, but I last checked it out about 9 months ago.

Thanks for the responses, yeah I believe my issues are due to iFrame limitations.

Currently supported iFrame scenario are (in OVV v1.2.1):

• Chrome
• FF
• IE11 on win 8.1

Can you please advise regarding the HTML5 support? (googima, other Javascript Vpaid?)

Eran, at this time OVV does not support HTML5 although the group did discuss adding it to the roadmap.

We are working on making rollout of OVV more user friendly. As part of that initiative a more full-featured test suite is being developed. In the source tree look at ./tests/test_site
https://github.com/InteractiveAdvertisingBureau/openvv/tree/master/tests/test_site

This included a fully functional example with sample Flash ad code. In addition to embedded on-page, there is a friendly iFrame (same domain iFrame example). Cross domain iFrame sample is under development. Your video player must be VPAID compatible.

A pure HTML5 implementation is on the roadmap at this point, but not implemented.
