Amphtml: Enable video docking when pre-roll playing on Brightcove video player

Created on 15 Feb 2019  路  6Comments  路  Source: ampproject/amphtml

We are testing the video docking experience on Brightcove players.

Example here: https://feature-amp-dock.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-deal-latest-customs-union-vote-eu-labour-theresa-may-red-lines-a8774346.html?amp

Feature request is to enable docking to occur when the preroll is playing to ensure viewability of ad

/To @mister-ben: My guess is that Brightcove does not send the Playing event when pre-roll starts? (since docking only happens if state of the player == playing)

/cc @alanorozco

Yes, within the Brightcove Player content and ad playing are distinct. If amp only needs to know _anything_ is playing we can change when that's triggered in the amp component.

@mister-ben yes, we expect playing event when anything is playing. ad-start and ad-end sufficiently contain information to know whether what's playing is an ad or not.

@mister-ben is this something Brightcove is intending to do?

Yes. An update to support this is in testing.
