Add Mute is not working

[rajneesh594]

HI, I am trying to mute the add but it's not working.
Following is my code so that you can understand what I have tried maybe this is some issue with the plugin.

`(function (){
        console.log("50001");
        var vd_scr = 'song.webm?t=1';
        var TAG_VMAP = 'https://pubads.g.doubleclick.net/gampad/ads?sz=640x480&iu=/124319096/external/single_ad_samples&ciu_szs=300x250&impl=s&gdfp_req=1&env=vp&output=vast&unviewed_position_start=1&cust_params=deployment%3Ddevsite%26sample_ct%3Dskippablelinear&correlator=';
        var player = new Clappr.Player({
            parentId: ".player",
            source: vd_scr,
            width: '100%',
            height: '100%',
            autoPlay:true,
            //mute: true,
            plugins: [
              ClapprImaPlugin,
            ],
            imaPlugin:{
              playInline: true,
              isableNonLinear: true,
              isableNonLinearForIOS: true,
              resetAdOnEnded: true,
              requestAdIfNoAutoplay: true,//always set it to true, to undertand please follow this https://github.com/kslimani/clappr-ima-plugin
              resetAdOnEnded: true,
              imaAdPlayer:{
                  adWillAutoPlay:true,
                  tag: TAG_VMAP,
                  locale: 'us',
                  adWillPlayMuted: true,
                  timeout:300, //The duration in milliseconds to wait for the IMA SDK library to be loaded.
                  maxDuration: 300000,//The maximum duration in milliseconds an ad is displayed
                  
              },
          },
        });
        
      })();`

Like described in #20, the player mute option must be set to true. (in your code example, it is commented).

Is any error message displayed in browser console ? (are you testing on desktop, or mobile device ?)

Also do you have a demo/test page to share ? (easier for me to debug/reproduce your issue)

Here is the code,

And I have commented on the mute because I don't want to mute the vds, I just want to mute ads.
To mute the ad I am using
adWillPlayMuted=true,
You can check in the code that I have set it true but still, it's not working.
Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

I forked your code, and i added https to video source and set the mute option to true and it work for me.

Technically, setting mute player option to true adds the muted attribute to the internal video element (which is required to autoplay)

EDIT:

And I have commented on the mute because I don't want to mute the vds, I just want to mute ads.

To my knowledge, you can't mute only the ad and have sound on video content (at least without user consent).
