Introduction
The AdSense plugin allows you to monetize your video using the most spread advertising network on the web. It is officially supported and the implementation has already been validated by Google. It can display overlays, prerolls, midrolls and postrolls with custom ad logics using the AdSense network.
It features all the required tracking and is fully configurable through Javascript.

Minimal Configuration
A typical minimal installation contains your publisher ID, the content ID and at least one ad schedule. You only need to load the plugin, set your publisher id and schedule an ad simply by adding it to the clip configuration.
<a id="player" style="display:block;width:425px;height:300px; margin-left: 150px;">
<img src="/media/img/home/flow_eye.jpg" alt="Search engine friendly content" />
</a>
flowplayer("player", "http://releases.flowplayer.org/swf/flowplayer-3.2.11.swf", {
clip: {
url: "http://pseudo01.hddn.com/vod/demo.flowplayervod/flowplayer-700.flv",
ads: true
},
plugins: {
controls: {
url: "flowplayer.controls-3.2.11.swf",
autoHide: "never" // we don't want the controlbar to hide
},
adsense: {
url: "/media/swf/flowplayer.adsense-1.6.5-dev.swf",
// this will be your publisher id
publisherId: "ca-video-pub-3760238376457613"
}
}
});

Scheduled linear ads: smart ad preloading, your users won't have to wait. If an ad is scheduled, we'll make sure that it's loaded by the time you want it displayed.

Configurable linear ad label: Use the content plugin to define how the label should be displayed. Simple, elegant, powerful.
-
Define your own ad logic using javascript APIs and low-level events. Or use the default ad logic.

Total control of the ad schedule system: use powerful Javascript APIs and complete event system to display an ad only when you want to.
