I want to schedule ads in the bm player (v8.2.1). Setup is following:
import BitmovinEngineModule from 'bitmovin-player/modules/bitmovinplayer-engine-bitmovin'
import XMLModule from 'bitmovin-player/modules/bitmovinplayer-xml'
import AdvertisingCore from 'bitmovin-player/modules/bitmovinplayer-advertising-core'
import AdvertisingBitmovin from 'bitmovin-player/modules/bitmovinplayer-advertising-bitmovin'
import AdvertisingIma from 'bitmovin-player/modules/bitmovinplayer-advertising-ima'
...
Player.addModule(BitmovinEngineModule)
Player.addModule(XMLModule)
Player.addModule(AdvertisingCore)
Player.addModule(AdvertisingBitmovin)
Player.addModule(AdvertisingIma)
this.playerInstance = new Player(this.playerElem, this.playerConfig)
...
// And later calling the schedule method
private scheduleAd(properties: AdBreakConfig) {
this.playerInstance.ads.schedule(properties)
}
Then I get the following error:
player.ts?9f2a:75 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'schedule' of null
at default_1.scheduleAd (player.ts?9f2a:75)
at eval (player.ts?9f2a:44)
at default_1.emit (bus.ts?e9c7:55)
at default_1.eval (watcher.ts?01a6:246)
at step (watcher.ts:43)
at Object.eval [as next] (watcher.ts:24)
at fulfilled (watcher.ts:15)
The ads
property of the player instance is always null. Help is appreciated!

Hi,
As this is not related to this UI repo, I'm going to close this issue. Feel free to reach out to support@bitmovin.com for general player issues.
However, I think your playerConfig
does not contain an advertising
config. It's required to "enable" advertising support, even if it's just an empty object.
