Specify ad content for a single playlist item

Use the following steps to set up dynamic ad insertion for a playlist item.

👍
IMPORTANT
For the following reasons, be sure that the URL used for the PlaylistItem.file is consistent with the media content registered with DAI for your videoID or assetKey:
• If the DAI request fails, the video URL will play as a fallback.
• Analytics will be attributed to correct media item.

Define your Google account information.
• If you are displaying a video on demand, define cmsID and videoID.
• If you are displaying a live stream, define assetKey.
If your content is protected, set the apiKey property with your Google DAI API key.
Instantiate an ImaDaiSettings object. In our code example, we name this imaDaiSettings.
If you have custom ad tag parameters, add them to the settings object with the setAdTagParameters() method.
Add the ImaDaiSettings object to the imaDaiSettings property of the PlaylistItem object.

String cmsId = "CMS_ID";
String videoId = "VIDEO_ID";
// apiKey can be null
String apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
//Set the stream type to HLS or Dash
ImaDaiSettings.StreamType streamType = ImaDaiSettings.StreamType.HLS;
ImaDaiSettings imaDaiSettings = new ImaDaiSettings(cmsId, videoId, streamType, apiKey);

// Add your custom parameters here
Map<String, String> tagParams = new HashMap<>();
tagParams.put("cust_params", "sport=football&city=newyork");
imaDaiSettings.setAdTagParameters(tagParams);

List<PlaylistItem> playlist = new ArrayList<>();
// Setup a media source
PlaylistItem playlistItem = new PlaylistItem.Builder()
    .file("https://content.jwplatform.com/manifests/{MEDIA_ID}.m3u8")
    .imaDaiSettings(imaDaiSettings)
    .build();

playlist.add(playlistItem);

PlayerConfig config = new PlayerConfig.Builder()
    .playlist(playlist)
    .build();

getPlayer().setup(config);

String assetKey = "YOUR_ASSET_KEY";
// apiKey can be null
String apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY";
//Set the stream type to HLS or Dash
ImaDaiSettings.StreamType streamType = ImaDaiSettings.StreamType.HLS;
ImaDaiSettings imaDaiSettings = new ImaDaiSettings(assetKey, streamType, apiKey);

// Add your custom parameters here
Map<String, String> tagParams = new HashMap<>();
tagParams.put("cust_params", "sport=football&city=newyork");
imaDaiSettings.setAdTagParameters(tagParams);

// Setup a media source
PlaylistItem playlistItem = new PlaylistItem.Builder()
    .file("https://content.jwplatform.com/manifests/{MEDIA_ID}.m3u8")
    .imaDaiSettings(imaDaiSettings)
    .build();
List<PlaylistItem> playlist = new ArrayList<>();
playlist.add(playlistItem);

PlayerConfig config = new PlayerConfig.Builder()
    .playlist(playlist)
    .build();

getPlayer().setup(config);
