Enable media control

@andrefilimono yes, you can even use your own custom controls while displaying video ad. (keep in mind that controls may be not available on some iOS device in fullscreen mode).

In this plugin, mediacontrols are disabled to avoid user to seek/skip video ad.

Also note this plugin was written some times ago, and since, new Clappr release has now a recycleVideo playback option for mobile : some tricks used in this plugin are no longer needed and the code could be enhanced.

But IMA SDK renders custom <video> element inside <iframe> (regardless of passed opt_videoElement in google.ima.AdDisplayContainer). So when I enable mediaControl it is already associated with video file given in the player config and play button starts main video not ad.

But I have no ideas how to connect media controls to SDK`s video element, especially if it is a VPAID ad.

You are correct about provided video element. This is one reason why i recommend using custom mediacontrol.

Google ima sdk expectation and behaviours may differs depending on if you are attempting to play advert on "desktop" or "mobile" device. (because ad display requirements differs on mobile).

You may be interested in HTML5 IMA SDK sample source code.
