Google rejects a VAST when the media file type is missing.

A run of Google creative status codes in the 160s and 170s is almost always the VAST, not the bid price. Each code names the file type or the document check that failed.

168 wants an MP3. 169 wants an audio file. 170 wants a MOV. 171 wants a 3GPP file. 172 wants DASH. 173 wants HLS. 174 wants an MP4A file. 175 is an empty VAST document. 176 is a VAST document that does not parse. 180 is a VAST version the video request does not allow.

Add the rendition the status names, or stop bidding that creative on requests that require it. An empty or unparseable document fails before the media-file check runs.
