The plugin can be configured to render more than one ad break during a content video. At this time, each ad break can contain only one ad slot.
Each ad break needs its own set of prebid configuration options, including prebid options and rendering options. The configuration for each ad break is represented by a JSON object, just like when you configure the plugin for a single ad. Then, to pass the configuration for each ad break to the plugin, include each configuration object in an array of configuration options. The array of configuration settings is what is passed to the plugin, both when configuring the plugin on page or in Brightcove Studio.
Use the timeOffset rendering option to indicate when the corresponding ad break should play. At this time, since only one ad slot is allowed per ad break, each configuration set must have a unique value for timeOffset. If more than one set of configuration settings is detected for the same timeOffset value, the plugin will only use the first configuration and ignore the others with the same timeOffset value.
While most of the configuration options apply only to the ad break for which they are specified, there a few configuration options that have global scope, meaning that ad breaks cannot have differing values for these options.
Therefore, for the following configuration options, the plugin will use the value of the first definition of the option that it finds. If the option is also defined in a subsequent ad break configuration, the subsequent value(s) will be ignored. The set of options having global scope include:
prebidPath: url used to load prebid.jsscriptLoadTimeout: used to specify the maximum time in milliseconds that the plugin will wait for a script file to loadfrequencyRules: used to express control of ad frequency in a playlistadRenderer: used to override the default behavior of selecting the plugin used to render the adloggerLevel: used to control the amount of information that is emitted by the plugin into the browser’s console.logThe following is a sample JSON definition of the plugin configuration defining configuration for a preroll ad (with timeOffset = 'start') and a postroll ad (with timeOffset = 'end').
