Dynamic video ad pod requests: targeting of last ad break position now supported
An in-stream video ad request can call a video ad pod with a maximum ad break duration (in seconds) by using the mabd= parameter without the pod size (ps=) parameter. These requests can return a dynamic number of video ads for an ad break.
With these requests, you can now target the last position in an ad break (the n-position). The penultimate (n-1) and antepenultimate (n-2) positions remain incompatible with maximum ad break requests, and the system doesn't enforce this targeting.
