Player integration

To play the ad breaks you schedule with OptiView Ads, your application needs a player integration that consumes the channel's Break Manifest. There are two integration paths:

The OptiView Ads SDK lets you bring your own player. It handles the Break Manifest logic and ad tracking/analytics for you, while your application keeps full control over content playback. It is available for Web, Android, iOS, and React Native, with ready-made adapters for popular players.

This is the recommended path for any new integration.

OptiView Player (legacy)

The OptiView Player SDKs ship with a built-in OptiView Ads integration that handles the Break Manifest logic, the Google IMA/DAI integrations, and OptiView Ads impressions. Use this path if your application is already built on OptiView Player.

Stream requirement

Whichever integration path you choose, wallclock-scheduled breaks require the stream to carry EXT-X-PROGRAM-DATE-TIME tags. Without them, wallclock breaks cannot be matched.
