Implementing Content Rotation

To create a playlist of content clips that play sequentially, an Ad Cue File (.rad file) is created with all timestamps set to 00:00:00:00.0.

Sample Ad Cue (.rad) File for Content Rotation

This ad cue file contains pointers to specific content clips:

00:00:00:00.0 clip\show1.rm
00:00:00:00.0 clip\show2.rm
00:00:00:00.0 clip\show3.rm

The visitor clicks on the content clip link with the associated .rad file and sees show1.rm first, followed by show2.rm and show3.rm and finally the content clip itself.

If the ads.txt file is used, the same example above can be configured with the following .rad file:

00:00:00:00.0 AdInsert
00:00:00:00.0 AdInsert
00:00:00:00.0 AdInsert

where the ads.txt file contains the following entries:

clip\show1.rm
clip\show2.rm
clip\show3.rm
