RAF - Multiple Pre Roll Ads Can it be Done??
I want to schedule multiple ads within my pre-roll ad break. Nobody has told me that this can't be done but I'm almost convinced that this is impossible using only the Roku ad library and NOT implementing the more complicated VAST xml method.
I have successfully created an adpod object that passes 2 ads to showads() using the proper ad structure as defined in the RAF documents. My solutions works with 1 ad in the adpod but creates an error when I create an adpod with 2 or more. Here is the output:
