Integrating OVA into an MRSS based Custom Player with an In-Player Playlist Controller

This tutorial explores how to integrate OVA to work with an MRSS based custom player that has an in-build playlist controller.

The player works as follows:

1. The player loads an MRSS playlist (declared to the player as a flashvar)
2. An in-built playlist controller displays each show clip in the MRSS playlist
3. Users select the required clip to play
4. Upon selection, the player loads up and plays the clip

When OVA is integrated, the player is to work as follows:

1. The player loads an MRSS playlist - the MRSS playlist contains a custom field against each playlist item declaring the ad server call to make for the clip in question
2. The in-built playlist controller is to display the MRSS playlist items - no ad clips are to be displayed in the playlist
3. When a user selects a clip to play, the associated ad call is to be made resulting in the playback of a pre-roll clip before the selected show clip
