Advanced tools
The mux-embed npm package is used to integrate Mux Data into video players for monitoring and analytics. It allows developers to track video performance, quality of experience, and viewer engagement by embedding Mux's tracking capabilities into their video players.
Basic Integration
This code demonstrates how to initialize the mux-embed package with basic configuration options. It sets up the environment key, player name, video ID, title, series, duration, and stream type.
const mux = require('mux-embed');
mux.init({
debug: true,
data: {
env_key: 'YOUR_ENV_KEY',
player_name: 'My Video Player',
player_init_time: Date.now(),
video_id: 'video-id-12345',
video_title: 'My Video Title',
video_series: 'My Video Series',
video_duration: 120000,
video_stream_type: 'on-demand'
}
});Tracking Player Events
This code shows how to monitor a video element for player events using mux-embed. It attaches the Mux monitoring to a video element and provides necessary data for tracking.
const videoElement = document.getElementById('my-video');
mux.monitor(videoElement, {
debug: true,
data: {
env_key: 'YOUR_ENV_KEY',
player_name: 'My Video Player',
video_id: 'video-id-12345',
video_title: 'My Video Title'
}
});Custom Events
This code demonstrates how to emit custom events using mux-embed. It sends a custom event with specific data related to the video being tracked.
mux.emit('custom_event', {
video_id: 'video-id-12345',
event_name: 'custom_event_name',
event_data: {
key1: 'value1',
key2: 'value2'
}
});The videojs-contrib-ads package is used to integrate ad support into Video.js players. While it focuses on ad integration rather than analytics, it provides similar functionality in terms of tracking ad events and player interactions.
