Inline Video Ads

You won’t be able to do that with the Video.js player. The JW Player has VAST support built in.

Yes, there is that plugin. I haven’t tested it out and I can see already that switching resolutions will likely cause the pre-roll ad to play again. You’ll have to do a bunch of customization to get it to work. You need to upload the files to your server, edit either my plugin or your theme so that the plugin’s JS files are loaded, and then initialize it using the vast plugin instructions by adding to the “plugins” object in my plugin, which is on line 1867 of the main file, but right now that’s tied to enabling the resolution selector plugin which seems to be in direct conflict with the ads plugin. I don’t have a good solution for that.

It is against the rules of this forum to discuss payments for services, but I will say if you don’t want to pay $150 for JW Player, you definitely don’t want to pay what I consider a reasonable rate for custom coding. I might integrate that Video.js ads plugin some day but I’m booked on my day job editing TV shows until April 2015 so I can’t promise any major enhancements to this free plugin any time soon. If it’s really important for you to have video pre-rolls right away, you might want to try this commercial plugin. I don’t know anything about it beyond what it says on that page, but it seems to do what you want.
