flowplayer-vpaid

VPAID 2.0 (Flash/JS) support within Flowplayer 6 HTML

Note: This project is a work in progress and may not fulfill all of the VPAID 2.0 spec yet.

Behavior

• Create a flowplayer instance like you normally would.
• Invoke the attach method to listen for the vpaid_js event.
• When the event is fired, a vpaid container will overlap the video when the user attempts to play the video.
• After the vpaid container is closed/skipped/etc, it will disappear and the video will start.

Usage

If you do not want to fire the vpaid_js event your self (because you parsed your own VAST response), consider using the flowplayer-vast project.

Note: SWFObject is required to show flash creatives and you will need to host the VPAIDFlash.swf file.

var container = document.getElementById('div');

var player = flowplayer(container);

fpvpaid.attach({
    container: container,
    player: player,
    swfVpaid: '//domain.com/VPAIDFlash.swf',
    swfObject: '//domain.com/swfobject.js'
});

player.trigger('vpaid_js', [{
    src: 'http://site.com/file.js',
    attributes: '',
    tracker: {} // should be a DMVAST.tracker instance from the vast-client-js project
}]);

player.trigger('vpaid_swf', [{
    src: 'http://site.com/file.swf',
    attributes: '',
    tracker: {} // should be a DMVAST.tracker instance from the vast-client-js project
}]);
