Hello, I am using the Chartboot fullscreenad function. Does it only display a static ad in agk v2.0.14b? The Chartboot website has options for videos but they don't seen to work.

Sometimes I get static ads, sometimes video. I have noticed the diversity of the videos has dropped recently. Not sure if this is due to a new SDK being released (what version is AppGameKit using?) or whether advertisers have pulled their ads from my app.

EDIT: Reward vids aren't yet supported. Any chance we can see these added to the next version Paul? Also, I'd like to allow a user to be able back out of a video ad if they don't want to sit through it. Currently they are forced to sit through the ad which has led to negative feedback on my app.

You can choose "Only video" in the App settings on chartboost.com

But well, i want to create a free version of my game, and video / ads don't display everytime... Can be better if we can detect when the ADS is ready, but it's not the case at the moment :' ( (btw i'm on 2.014b (or 2.014, i don't understand the beta version on steam too, it's broken in the "about" :s)).

Paul: Could you give AppGameKit a little attention in the ads department please? I'd like:
* allow users to close video ads (via back button?) as an option
* ability to display a video ad in landscape, even if the app is portrait (currently vids are squashed to fit portrait with HUGE black bars at top and bottom)
* reward vids (detect if vid has been watched so reward can be given)

Chartboost SDK v6 has been released. Integration guide is here: https://answers.chartboost.com/hc/en-us/articles/206454153

Have you tried to force the landscape with SetOrientationAllowed() before creating a Fullscreen Ads, and tick the "landscape video" in chartboost options ? Be sure to to tick "Orientation All" before exporting too. I have not tested that, but i'm sure it's kind of possible to do it that way...

I just tried updating the Chartboost SDK on iOS but for some reason it stopped displaying ads, so I'll have to take a closer look at it some time.

I think they do this on purpose so you can't skip the ad, the same way Youtube sometimes doesn't show the skip ad button forcing you to sit through a 20-30 second ad.
