How it is used

Use it when the advertiser is paying for a premium position, such as the first spot in a break. The seller states which positions it can guarantee in Video.slotinpod or Audio.slotinpod, and a bid asking for a position the seller cannot guarantee may be ineligible.

Allowed values

Value	Meaning
`-1`	Last ad in the pod: The last slot of the pod, just before the content resumes.
`0`	Any ad in the pod: Any slot: no position guarantee on a request and no restriction on a bid. This is the default.
`1`	First ad in the pod: The first slot of the pod, right after the content stops.
`2`	First or Last ad in the pod: Either the first or the last slot, without saying which.
