Issues with ad insertions in AWS MediaTailor

0

Hello,

I configured ad insertions in AWS MediaTailor by providing source content without ad markers and an XML file with VMAP to the ADS URL. When watching the playback URL, the video specified in VMAP was not being inserted into the source content. I checked the logs in CloudWatch, and they showed the following:

"skippedAds": [
    {
        "creativeUniqueId": "00001",
        "adMezzanineUrl": "https://d3re4i3vgppvr8.cloudfront.net/Media/Bumpers/AD-caribbean-15-HD.mp4",
        "skippedReason": "TRANSCODE_ERROR",
        "vastDuration": 15
    }
]

What could be the reason for this?

I am attaching the VMAP file I created below.

VMAP XML file

<vmap:VMAP xmlns:vmap="http://www.iab.net/videosuite/vmap" version="1.0">
    <vmap:AdBreak timeOffset="start" breakType="linear" breakId="preroll">
        <vmap:AdSource id="preroll-ad-1" allowMultipleAds="false" followRedirects="true">
            <vmap:AdTagURI templateType="vast3">

            </vmap:AdTagURI>
        </vmap:AdSource>
    </vmap:AdBreak>

The error "TRANSCODE_ERROR" indicates that AWS MediaTailor was unable to transcode the ad video successfully. This could be due to various reasons, such as an unsupported codec, resolution, or other video properties that MediaTailor cannot handle.

It's worth noting that AWS MediaTailor has specific requirements for ad videos, and while it supports a wide range of codecs and resolutions, some configurations may not be compatible. Ensuring that the ad video meets the supported specifications is crucial for successful ad insertion.

  • So "skippedReason": What's the problem with "NEW_CREATIVE"? I don't know what it's about because it doesn't come out in the guide.
