Serve mid-roll ads without content ingestion

You can serve mid-roll ads without content ingestion by manually including video duration and cue points in your ad tag, using the following parameters:

Parameter Details

Parameter	Details
`vid_d` _{(Video duration)}	This parameter accepts a variable value which specifies the duration of the content, in seconds. The `vid_d` and `allcues` parameters are used to serve mid-roll ads without content ingestion. Ad rules are also required to return mid-rolls. Usage example Video content duration of 90000 seconds (25 hours): `vid_d=90000`
`allcues` _{(All cue points)}	This parameter accepts variable values which are a comma-separated list of cue points, in milliseconds. For each value, Ad Manager returns an ad break. The `vid_d` and `allcues` parameters are used to serve mid-roll ads without content ingestion. Ad rules are also required to return mid-rolls. If time-based cues are used in your ad rules (for example, "Every N seconds" or "At fixed times"), then those set in the ad rule are used, and the cues passed into `allcues` are ignored. Mid-rolls still require duration, so `vid_d` must still be passed. Usage example Cue points at 10 and 20 seconds: `allcues=10000,20000`

vid_d

_{(Video duration)}

This parameter accepts a variable value which specifies the duration of the content, in seconds.

The vid_d and allcues parameters are used to serve mid-roll ads without content ingestion. Ad rules are also required to return mid-rolls.

Usage example

Video content duration of 90000 seconds (25 hours):
vid_d=90000

allcues

_{(All cue points)}

This parameter accepts variable values which are a comma-separated list of cue points, in milliseconds. For each value, Ad Manager returns an ad break.

The vid_d and allcues parameters are used to serve mid-roll ads without content ingestion. Ad rules are also required to return mid-rolls.

If time-based cues are used in your ad rules (for example, "Every N seconds" or "At fixed times"), then those set in the ad rule are used, and the cues passed into allcues are ignored. Mid-rolls still require duration, so vid_d must still be passed.

Usage example

Cue points at 10 and 20 seconds:
allcues=10000,20000
