I integrated RAF into my app that uses server side ad stitching, and now I see requests going out to
video-ad-stats.googlesyndication.com and
pubads.g.doubleclick.net during playback. What are these requests? Why are they happening? They appear to be appended to the ad pods array I provide to RAF. They fire even if I disable Neilsen.
The request to video-ad-stats request has what appear to be undefined macro values in the query params
request:
http://video-ad-stats.googlesyndication.com/video/client_events?event=3&web_property=ca-pub-7650175200946213&cpn=%5BCPN%5D&break_type=%5BBREAK_TYPE%5D&slot_pos=%5BSLOT_POS%5D&ad_id=%5BAD_ID%5D&ad_sys=%5BAD_SYS%5D&ad_len=%5BAD_LEN%5D&p_w=%5BP_W%5D&p_h=%5BP_H%5D&mt=%5BMT%5D&rwt=%5BRWT%5D&wt=%5BWT%5D&sdkv=%5BSDKV%5D&vol=%5BVOL%5D&content_v=%5BCONTENT_V%5D&conn=%5BCONN%5D&format=%5BFORMAT_NAMESPACE%5D_%5BFORMAT_TYPE%5D_%5BFORMAT_SUBTYPE%5D
EDIT:
Actually it looks like the RAF is ignoring the ad data I provide using
importAds and
stitchedAdsInit, and is substituting a bunch of google ad stuff instead. Why?
EDIT 2:
using
setAdPrefs(false,0) disabled the backfill ads from Roku, so mystery solved. But why is my seemingly well formed ad data rejected?
