Ad Marker Insertion into HLS Manifest in Timed Increments

0

What I Have: I have a channel running on MediaTailor that allows for playout assembly of video segments in the following fashion: ad break, video1, ad break, video2, ad break, video3, ad break...etc. This is created by attaching a zero second ad break to the start of each individual video.

What I Want: The ability to set timed ad insertion regardless of breaks in body of video (mid-roll): video 1 - ad plays at 0 time, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes (every 5 minutes), video 2 - ad plays at 0 time, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes (every 5 minutes), etc.

Has anyone figured out how to do this in MediaTailor?

Any assistance appreciated.

MediaTailor only looks for breaks that appear in the manifest and reacts to those. I'm assuming that you are using Channel Assembly to create this stream. In that case, you can use Channel Assembly's UI or API to insert ad breaks at any point you like by editing the offset value.

    So in the UI for the individual program I would simply add additional ad breaks at 5 minute offsets. I get it. Is there a way to create an ad break group or string to apply as a single ad break that essentially inserts an ad every 5 minutes without creating individual ad breaks? Trying to automate here.

    Thanks in advance for all your help!
