[Question] Where is VAST video ad started event ?

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

The AdEvent types are described here but i can’t figure which one is the VAST video ad started ? (especially when it is a VPAID which play video ad)

According IAB VPAID 2.0 documentation, the AdStarted event (google.ima.AdEvent.type.STARTED ?) is fired as the result of calling the startAd() VPAID method. (ad unit started)

But i can’t find in documentation the IMA equivalent to VAST AdVideoStart event :

AdStarted             -->  google.ima.AdEvent.type.STARTED
AdImpression          -->  google.ima.AdEvent.type.IMPRESSION
AdVideoStart          -->  ???
AdVideoFirstQuartile  -->  google.ima.AdEvent.type.FIRST_QUARTILE
AdVideoMidpoint       -->  google.ima.AdEvent.type.MIDPOINT
AdVideoThirdQuartile  -->  google.ima.AdEvent.type.THIRD_QUARTILE
AdVideoComplete       -->  google.ima.AdEvent.type.COMPLETE

Does someone have a clue ?

Thank you @shawnbuso that’s more clear to me.

I will do more tests with these infos. The re-use of STARTED should be added to SDK documentation, i had hard time to figure out why this event was fired by tier VPAID on ad inventory response.
