So you use the No Club fm.xml file?

Yes.

VIDEO ADS:

‎⁨Macintosh HD⁩ ▸ ⁨Users⁩ ▸ ⁨name ▸ ⁨Library⁩ ▸ ⁨Application Support⁩ ▸ ⁨Steam⁩ ▸ ⁨steamapps⁩ ▸ ⁨common⁩ ▸ ⁨Football Manager 2019⁩ ▸ ⁨data⁩ ▸ ⁨simatchviewer_uncompressed⁩ ▸ ⁨videos⁩ ▸ ⁨sd⁩ ▸ ⁨video_ads⁩

I solved my problem! I finally have the static club banners and the video ads working on my MacBook with Medium graphics settings.
What I have done is to leave only one video ads folder in place. By default you have both the HD and SD folder in simatchviewer_uncompressed/videos

It seems FM can't decide which folder to use when you use Medium graphics. I simply renamed the HD folder to SD and removed the original SD folder. Now, the game recognizes the video ads from the HD folder and shows them with Medium graphics and because it's the only folder in simatchviewer_uncompressed/videos it also shows the club banners.

So far so good. FINALLY!

Thanks for the above, I've got both static and video adboards working now

I'm having a minor issue with the video adboards in that these are constantly stuck on the 'SkySports' adboard throughout PL games and then the first Europa League one during EL games. The adboards are working and the various animations happening (e.g. the Skysports one changes to say 'best place for PL football) but they never switch to the other video adboards in the folder such as BT, Premier League logo, Vitality etc.. or in the EL case the Amstel, fair play ones etc..

Anyone had anything similar? I'm not sure if it is an issue with how long the video adboards are set to display? I've even tried this through extended highlights and it'll still stay on the same adboard.

Sounds like an issue with your fm.xml in the ads folder and that it is only calling the one ad board. I suggest check that everything is located where it should be and the fm.xml

Yep...everything definitely in the right location

My Docs > FM19 > ads > fm.xml (club adboards)
My Docs > FM19 > graphics > pictures > ads (etc...)

and then the video ads in their right location under steamapps etc...

It's got me stumped.

Read a few pages back, there's a fix for this sticking on the first aboard - some fella posted a file to download.

Download the 1.4.1 file. You find it in this topic a few pages back.

Is there a way of combining the two XML files so the static upper tier aboards are club specific, but then the video adboards closest to the pitch are competition specific?

Would also like the new Sky Bet video ad with the updated logo. Are we due an 18/19 pack or at least an update pack?

@stevemc Not sure but would be good for CL/FA Cup matches etc

This already happens with this patch, or do you mean with different competitions such as the Champions and Europa League?

I am working on the FM19 patch in the background, however, I do not have as much free time as I have had over the past few years, I'm hoping to have V1.0 out with the next two weeks.

Yeah so the upper stands are club specific (for example, manutd.com, MUFC badge, adidas etc) then on the lower video boards that are around the pitch are competition specific, so in the CL it displays only CL, FA Cup displays only FA Cup etc

I am making what suits me and my saves. I may, or may not, release a pack in the not to distant future.

As it takes a lot of time to make them, and there only appears to be two of us making them, I wouldn't hold your breathe.

At the moment I am concentrating on German clubs.

I've made a few static ads for Wigan Athletic and a generic SkyBet ad if you'd like them

It can be done but you would need to play with generic league video ads instead of Man Utd video ads, I'll add this feature for all clubs to the "no club ads" xml file.
