Video Ads With Google IMA DAI HTML5 SDK

Introduction

We support the HTML5 Google IMA DAI SDK (dynamic ad insertion) in Radiant Media Player. The Google IMA DAI SDK for HTML5 V3 allows publishers to request and track DAI streams in a HTML5 video environment with a server-side ad insertion angle (SSAI). We support live, on-demand video and Pod Serving with the HTML5 Google IMA DAI SDK with HLS (hls.js where Media Source Extensions are available and native HLS as a fallback, typically for iOS). Skippable ads and snapback are also supported.

You can test your DAI stream in our tester here.

Supported environments for the DAI IMA HTML5 SDK

  • Desktop: Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari 11+ for Windows 7+ and macOS 10.12+
  • Mobile: Chrome, Firefox, Opera for Android 5+ and Safari for iOS 12+ and iPadOS 13+
