Advertising Plugin : Adotube Show video ads from Adotube in Flowplayer
Demo
Here is the Adotube plugin in action. Wait for a few seconds to see the ad. Below the video you'll find the configuration.
$f("player", "http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.4.swf", {
// the Adotube plugin is configured here
plugins: {
adotube: {
url: 'AdotubePlugin.swf',
adotube_omlSource:
'http://www.adotube.com/docs/adapters/OP/sampleOML.xml',
// publisher dynamic settings
pdv_video_identifier: 'c33r03512K_Stream.flv',
pdv_video_tags: 'tag1 tag2 tag3'
}
}
});
The adotube_omlSource variable is the only required variable in order to display ads using the Adotube plugin. The other variables are optional, unless your placement will require a more advanced configuration.
Adotube Features
- Supports multiple pre-, mid- and post-roll ads, and multiple companions per ad.
- Rich interactive overlays

Placement
Basically, the only variable that is needed for the plugin to function correctly is the adotube_omlSource. This variable is actually pointing to a URL where the OML file can be found. The OML is an XML-type file used to describe how the placement will behave. The adotube_omlSource variable will be obtained after you register with us and create a placement in our Publisher Management Console.
The adotube_overstreamPlatformURL and adotube_AS3OverstreamPlatformAdapterURL variables are optional. They should be specified only in case the Adotube Platform (the Overstream Platform) is loading from a different location than the default one i.e. the Adotube servers.
Publisher User Variables
As you can see in the above example, the placement can accept pre-populated data about the user through the Publisher User Variables (all the variables that have the pud_ prefix). You should use this variable if the user already has an account on your website. This is important for CPA Offers.
Publisher Dynamic Variables
If specified, the Dynamic Variables override the corresponding variables from the Adotube Video Placement. These variables are the ones that have the pdv_ prefix and should be created dynamically using server-side scripting for each video.
The pdv_video_identifier variable is composed of the {name of the website where the ads will play} + the filename of the video(or some unique id) + the tags of the video.
The pdv_video_tags variable should contain the video tags for that specific video.
