Resend AD request with "onLoad" requestMode

I’m trying to do some waterfall model with using two ad_tags, with reloading I’m trying to do it in that way:

let adConfig = {
requestMode: "onLoad",
adTagUrl: "FIRST_URL";
}
this.player.ima (adConfig);
............
player.on ('adserror', (event) => {
   this.player.ima.initializeAdDisplayContainer ();
   this.player.ima.setContentWithAdTag (null, "SECOND_URL", true);
   this.player.ima.requestAds ();
});

Using “onPlay” requestMode everything is fine, when click play, player try to load “FIRST_URL”, and if for example when ADError: 1009 was happen, it send request to SECOND_URL, and plays the ads from second tag without problems

But when the requestMode is set to “onLoad” (to prefetch the ads), If any aderror was triggered, even if the SECOND_URL ad tag is requested, and downloaded properly, videojs-ima doesn’t play te ads from the SECOND_URL. It simply starts my video without any errors in console

If I add the play () function directly after the this.player.ima.requestAds ();, or I have an autoplay in my player, it works fine, so that could be related to some timeouts?

Maybe it will be an option to reload whole videojs-ima plugin for that? How to achieve it?

And another simple question. Is it posible to get an AD XML content from the plugin code?

Hello @komw ,

I was able to reproduce the behavior you are seeing, where the 2nd ad does not load if requestMode is let to "onLoad".

I will plan into looking into a built in solution, but for now the work-arounds you suggested seem to work.

In terms of the xml returned by the ad request, the plugin does not provide a way to view this, however, you should be able to see what is returned in the network tab of the browser developer console.

Thank you, Jackson IMA SDK DevRel

Hi @Kiro705 Yes, we tried the preloading for adsRenderingSettings without success. Do you have opportunity to check what is going on with that bug?
