RAF VMAP - VASTAdData vs AdTagURI - Freewheel

Hello,

I'm using the Roku Ad Framework (RAF) version 1.4 library to ingest a Freewheel sample VMAP.
The problem I'm running into is that the Freewheel sample VMAP is wrapping the VAST data in-line in a VASTAdData tag, and RAF doesn't seem to recognize the ad in this format.
If I take the same VAST data from the VMAP and divide it between two files using the AdTagURI in the VMAP file to reference the VAST file, everything works fine.

My question is, does RAF support in-line VAST data in a VMAP using the VASTAdData tag?
Or is just VAST referenced with AdTagURI supported?
Both approaches seem to be in the VMAP spec... Am I missing something?

Original VMAP with VASTAdData which does not load ad:

Re: RAF VMAP - VASTAdData vs AdTagURI - Freewheel

I was wondering if you had the contact info for the FreeWheel rep you used to run their ads on your channel. Thanks.
