Video Ads - Common

Video Ad Managers

There are two types of video ad managers.

• GFPVideoAdManager, for pre-stream ad.
• [GFPVideoAdScheduleManager](mid.mdx/post stream video

Common Configurations

Automated Loudness

Use GFPAdConfiguration의 useLoudness to automatically level audio volume. Default is NO

Objective-C

// GFPAdConfiguration.h

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL useLoudness;

[GFPAdManager adConfiguration].useLoudness = YES;

Swift

// GFPAdConfiguration.h

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL useLoudness;

GFPAdManager.adConfiguration().useLoudness = true

GFPVideoAdRenderingSetting

Configure GFPVideoAdRenderingSetting before requesting ad, in either GFPVideoAdManager or GFPVideoAdScheduleManager See more information in GFPVideoAdRenderingSetting.h.

Objective-C

GFPVideoAdRenderingSetting *renderingSetting = [[GFPVideoAdRenderingSetting alloc] init];
renderingSetting.startTimeoutInterval = 5;      // Video start timeout
renderingSetting.bufferingTimeoutInterval = 7;  // Video Buffering timeout
renderingSetting.bitrateKbps = 10;              // Maximum bitrate
renderingSetting.preferredLanguage = GFPLanguageType_none; // "none" sets to device language
...

Swift

let renderingSetting = GFPVideoAdRenderingSetting()
renderingSetting.startTimeoutInterval = 5      // Video start timeout
renderingSetting.bufferingTimeoutInterval = 7  // Video Buffering timeout
renderingSetting.bitrateKbps = 10              // Maximum bitrate
renderingSetting.preferredLanguage = .none     // "none" sets to device language
...

GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting

Configure GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting for various video player settings,in either GFPVideoAdManager와 GFPVideoAdScheduleManager See more information in GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting.h

Objective-C

GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting *playerSetting = [[GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting alloc] initWithAction: GFPVideoBackgroundPause audioSetting: GFPVideoAudioSettingDefault];
self.videoAdManager.playerSetting = playerSetting;

Swift

let playerSetting = GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting(action: .pause, audioSetting: .default)
self.videoAdManager?.playerSetting = playerSetting

GFPVideoBackgroundActionType

Configure GFPVideoBackgroundActionType for video's action when the app goes background.

• GFPVideoBackgroundPause : pause in background
• GFPVideoBackgroundPlay : continue in background

Objective-C

GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting *playerSetting = [[GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting alloc] initWithAction: GFPVideoBackgroundPause];
self.videoAdManager.playerSetting = playerSetting;

GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting *playerSetting = [[GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting alloc] initWithAction: GFPVideoBackgroundPlay];
self.videoAdManager.playerSetting = playerSetting;

Swift

let playerSetting = GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting(action: .pause)
self.videoAdManager?.playerSetting = playerSetting
        
let playerSetting = GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting(action: .play)
self.videoAdManager?.playerSetting = playerSetting

GFPVideoAudioSettingType

Configure GFPVideoAudioSettingType for video's actions when headphones are connected or disconnected.

• GFPVideoAudioSettingDefault: AVPlayer Default pause when headphones are disconnected
• GFPVideoAudioSettingAuto: Plays when headphones are connected. Pauses when headphones are disconnected

Objective-C

GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting *playerSetting = [[GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting alloc] initWithAudioSetting: GFPVideoAudioSettingDefault];
self.videoAdManager.playerSetting = playerSetting;

GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting *playerSetting = [[GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting alloc] initWithAudioSetting: GFPVideoAudioSettingAuto];
self.videoAdManager.playerSetting = playerSetting;

Swift

let playerSetting = GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting(audioSetting: .default)
self.videoAdManager?.playerSetting = playerSetting
        
let playerSetting = GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting(audioSetting: .auto)
self.videoAdManager?.playerSetting = playerSetting

disableExternalPlayback

Configure disableExternalPlayback to allow or disallow external playbacks. Default is YES

See more information on AVPlayer allowsExternalPlayback

Objective-C

GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting *playerSetting = [[GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting alloc] initWithDisableExternalPlayback: NO];
self.videoAdManager.playerSetting = playerSetting;

GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting *playerSetting = [[GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting alloc] initWithDisableExternalPlayback: YES];
self.videoAdManager.playerSetting = playerSetting;

Swift

let playerSetting = GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting(disableExternalPlayback: false)
self.videoAdManager?.playerSetting = playerSetting
        
let playerSetting = GFPVideoAdPlayerSetting(disableExternalPlayback: true)
self.videoAdManager?.playerSetting = playerSetting

Adjusting Sound Level

• Set volume from [0, Muted] to [1, Loudest]
• volume on GFPVideoAdScheduleManager applies to all of its scheduled videos.
• volume on GFPVideoAdManager applies to single video that it manages.

Objective-C

// GFPVideoAdScheduleManager.h
@interface GFPVideoAdScheduleManager : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, assign) float volume;

@end

// GFPVideoAdManager.h
@interface GFPVideoAdManager : NSObject

@property (readwrite, nonatomic, assign) float volume;

@end

//Example

self.scheduleManager.volume = 15;

self.videoAdManager.volume = 15;

Swift

// GFPVideoAdScheduleManager.h
@interface GFPVideoAdScheduleManager : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, assign) float volume;

@end

// GFPVideoAdManager.h
@interface GFPVideoAdManager : NSObject

@property (readwrite, nonatomic, assign) float volume;

@end

//Example

self.scheduleManager?.volume = 15

self.videoAdManager?.volume = 15

Google IMA Video Ad Play Condition

• For IMA >= 3.12.1 (GFPSDK >= 2.2.4), it is necessary to set the root view controller for the video ad manangers.

Objective-C

// GFPVideoAdScheduleManager.h
@interface GFPVideoAdScheduleManager : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, weak, nullable) UIViewController *rootViewController;

@end

// GFPVideoAdManager.h
@interface GFPVideoAdManager : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, weak, nullable) UIViewController *rootViewController;

@end

//Example

self.scheduleManager.rootViewController = self

self.videoAdManager.rootViewController = self

Swift

// GFPVideoAdScheduleManager.h
@interface GFPVideoAdScheduleManager : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, weak, nullable) UIViewController *rootViewController;

@end

// GFPVideoAdManager.h
@interface GFPVideoAdManager : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, weak, nullable) UIViewController *rootViewController;

@end

//Example

self.scheduleManager?.rootViewController = self

self.videoAdManager?.rootViewController = self

Quality of Experience(QOE)

Implement GFPVideoAdManager.qoeDelegate and GFPVideoAdScheduleManager.qoeDelegate to get more detailed informations about video playback.
