Google server side advertising insertion can be implemented using MediaSources with the custom URL ssai://. The SSB stream URL will be discussed and the methods to implement this functionality in the next paragraphs. We'll then discuss ExoPlayer's implementation of the SSB stream URL. Also, we'll discuss the potential problems of client-side ad insert and offer a solution.
SSB stream URL
Enable Dynamic Ad Insertion in your content to enable Google's ad-insertion server side. This is useful if your goal is to monitor the metrics of your video streams. It is important to note that you cannot change the SSB stream URL once it's been installed on your content source. If you'd like to use DAI for your content, you'll need to enable DAI authentication keys and configure CDN ingest and delivery settings. For emails to be sent, enable ingest error notifications.
DoubleClick For Publishers, (DFP), is a highly-regarded ad network and a great way for your website to become interactive. After a page is loaded, the ads are dynamically embedded into your content based on the visitor's interests. However, Dynamic ad insertion has recently been added to the Google DFP server side ad system. Before you can install Google DFP server-side ad insertion, you need to learn about client side ads insertion.
Problems with client-side ad insertion
Website ads have increased in number by a shocking amount over the past few years. Many users have also turned to ad blocking tools, which block ads from being displayed on web pages. Client-side ads insertion is a better solution. This method integrates advertising assets with video, eliminating the situation where ads load but videos don't. It reduces buffering while maintaining video quality.
Another problem with client-side ad insertion is the lack of support for ad stitching. While this ad technology allows publishers to use more advanced ad formats and track user interaction, it does not support measurement. The good news is that client-side ad insertion technology has improved dramatically over the last three years. It's now the best method to monetize any type of video content.
ExoPlayer is the solution
ExoPlayer was designed to facilitate client-side ad inserting. StyledPlayerView implements AdViewProvider. It also provides an AdsLoader which allows for timed metadata. ExoPlayer is compatible with all VAST-compliant ad servers. ExoPlayer supports custom ads SDK MediaSources. You can also listen to these events with ExoPlayer.
Developers can insert ads into any video content with the SDK. The IMA SDK can embed ads within media content, such videos. It is not designed to play standalone ads. In these cases, Google Mobile Ads SDK should be used. It is possible to integrate an SDK from a third party with ExoPlayer by using a custom AdsLoader
How to Implement
Server side ads do NOT originate from the browser, app or page. Instead, the publisher makes the call without having any code on the page. Although this may not be the ideal solution for programmatic publisher, it is still preferred to brands that are looking for innovative ad options. Brands can use server side ads to create native ads that replace all content. This technology is great for web content, as it limits the obtrusiveness and impact of the ad.
One challenge for implementing server side ads is building a platform. Kevel is an API tool that can be used to build your server-side advertising platform. It can be daunting to move to programmatic ads after you have built the platform. It will require a strong buy-in from different departments. And since direct-sold placements will still need ad tags, your server-side strategy will need to focus on direct-sold placements.

This is how you are memorable. You become someone who people want to remember.

This allows you to design ads that resonate well with them.
