Migrating to videojs-contrib-ads 3.0.0

One of the best features of video.js is the community of plugins and customizations that has built up around it.

Version 3 of the videojs-contrib-ads plugin is primarily about compatibility with video.js 5 (and, therefore, non-compatibility with video.js 4). Refer to the "5.0 Change Details" document for more on that change.

Migration

For the most part, ad plugin maintainers will only need to follow the video.js 5 migration changes.

However, there are a few minor changes to videojs-contrib-ads, which are unlikely to affect anyone using the plugin:

  • The timer used to trigger an 'adtimeout' event has been moved to a different property. It is no longer player.ads.timeout, but player.ads.adTimeoutTimeout. This naming change is less vague and more in line with other timers.

  • A new timer is exposed for triggering a synthetic 'ended' event, player.ads.resumeEndedTimeout.

  • Internally, timers are now tracked universally using setTimeout rather than a mix of setTimeout, requestAnimationFrame, and the non-standard setImmediate. This is not only simpler, but it makes testing easier and more reliable/robust.
