/config/:uri

{
  "mediaGen": {
    "vmap": {
      // The stream url to play.
      "uri": "http://streamurl.com",
      // The duration of the stream (including ads, of course).
      "totalDuration": 232.067,
      // trackers to fire.
      "trackers": [],
      // metadata about the ads.
      "adBreaks": []
    }
  }
}

Tracker Object

{
  // The ID of the ad break the tracker is associated with.
  "breakId": "0",
  // The event name, not used for time related trackers. 
  "event": "firstQuartile",
  // the tracker url 
  "url": "http://140cc.v.fwmrm.net/ad/l/1?s=b121&n=82125%3B82125&t=1392409723793873010&metr=7&ct=1&et=i&cn=firstQuartile",
  // the time to fire the tracker
  "timeToFire": 1
}

Pre/mid/post rolls

{
  // the type of ad break
  "type": "preroll",
  // the id of the ad break
  "breakId": "0",
  // the start of the ad break
  "startTime": 0,
  // the end time of the ad break
  "endTime": 5,
  // ignore..
  "timeOffset": "start",
  // the duration of the ad break
  "duration": 5
}

Thoughts:

• Perhaps "rolls" should be "adBreaks".
• Should I delete timeOffset in adBreak object.
• What do we call the mediaGen stuff (e.g. beacons, thumbnail, overlays).
• Should the beacons be mixed with the unicorn trackers?

Dale and I were thinking about the organization of the parameters and considering this:

"feed": {...}
"mediaGen": {...}
"ads": {...}
"adParams" : {...}
"reportingParams" : {...}
"overrideParams": {...}
"playerParams" : {...}
"imageInfo" : {...} //this would hold the thumbnail params

Thoughts/questions/problems?
