How to setup pre-roll ads in DPublisher?
Hi coskel,
To enable pre-roll ads in your Roku Direct Publisher channel, do the following:
1. Go to you channel's monetization section and enter your VAST url in the AD server URL (see below).2. In your JSON feed add the ad breaks to your content (00:00:00 is for pre-roll).
3. Re-ingest your content feed and publish your channel.
Keep in mind that Roku DP has some limitations when it comes to ads, e.g. when a viewer installs the channel, the first 15 minutes of content will be ad-free, I list all the Roku Direct Publisher limitations in the following post:
