Properties

Optional adTagParameters

adTagParameters?: Record<string, string>

The ad tag parameters added to stream request.

Remarks


- Each entry contains the parameter name with associated value.
- Values added must be strings.

Optional backdropDoubleBox

backdropDoubleBox?: string

Default backdrop image URI to be used as a background for ads in double box layout.

Remarks


- This will be overridden by backdrop image URIs parsed from THEOads ad markers or returned in the ad response.
- If no URI is configured, and no backdrop companion is parsed from the marker or returned in the ad response, a black screen will be shown as background.

Optional backdropLShape

backdropLShape?: string

Default backdrop image URI to be used as a background for ads in L-shape layout.

Remarks


- This will be overridden by backdrop image URIs parsed from THEOads ad markers or returned in the ad response.
- If no URI is configured, and no backdrop companion is parsed from the marker or returned in the ad response, a black screen will be shown as background.

Optional customAssetKey

customAssetKey?: string

Default custom asset key to use for ad requests.

Remarks


- This will be overridden by custom asset keys parsed from THEOads ad markers.
- If no custom asset key is configured, and it cannot be parsed from the THEOads ad marker, ads will not be loaded.

integration

integration: theoads

The integration of the ad break.

Optional networkCode

networkCode?: string

Default network code to use for ad requests.

Remarks


- This will be overridden by network codes parsed from THEOads ad markers.
- If no network code is configured, and it cannot be parsed from the THEOads ad marker, ads will not be loaded.

Optional overrideLayout

overrideLayout?: TheoAdsLayoutOverride

Override the layout of all THEOads ad breaks, if set.

Optional replaceContent

replaceContent?: boolean

Whether the ad replaces playback of the content.

Remarks


- When the ad ends, the content will resume at the ad break's offset plus its duration.

Default Value


- true for live content,
- false for VOD content

Optional sources

sources?: string

For SGAI, this should be configured with the signaling server base URI.

If configured, the player will attempt to sideload the modified manifest from the signaling server separate from the source manifest. If not configured, the player will assume that the ad markers are part of the source manifest.

Optional timeOffset

timeOffset?: string | number

Offset after which the ad break will start.

Possible formats:
- A number for the offset in seconds.
- 'start' for a preroll.
- 'end' for a postroll.
- 'HH:MM:SS.mmm' for a timestamp in the playback window.
- A percentage string (XX%) for a proportion of the content duration.

Remarks


- A timestamp which is not in the playback window will result in the ad break not being started.
- VMAP resources will ignore this value as they contain an internal offset.
- Since 2.18, numbers are supported for the Google IMA integration, since 2.21 other formats as well.

Default Value

'start'

Optional useId3

useId3?: boolean

Whether to use the Id3 based operating mode.
