## Quick Start
### 1. Basic Integration with Player Analytics API
#### TypeScript
```typescript
import {
createDynamicAnalyticsManager,
createPlayerAnalyticsProviderConfig,
AnalyticsProviderType,
DynamicAnalyticsConfig
} from './analytics';
// Configure analytics
const analyticsConfig: DynamicAnalyticsConfig = {
enabled: true,
providers: [
{
name: 'player-analytics',
type: AnalyticsProviderType.PLAYER_ANALYTICS,
enabled: true,
priority: 1,
config: createPlayerAnalyticsProviderConfig(
'https://api.flicknexs.com', // Your API base URL
'your-api-key', // Your API key
'main-player', // Player ID
{
tenantId: 'your-tenant-id', // Optional
heartbeatInterval: 10, // 10 seconds
batchSize: 10, // 10 events per batch
flushInterval: 30 // 30 seconds
}
)
}
],
globalSettings: {
enableConsoleLogging: true,
enableErrorReporting: true,
sessionTimeout: 60 // 60 minutes
}
};
// Create analytics manager
const analyticsManager = createDynamicAnalyticsManager(analyticsConfig);
```
#### JavaScript (ES6 Modules)
```javascript
import {
createDynamicAnalyticsManager,
createPlayerAnalyticsProviderConfig,
AnalyticsProviderType
} from './analytics.js';
// Configure analytics
const analyticsConfig = {
enabled: true,
providers: [
{
name: 'player-analytics',
type: AnalyticsProviderType.PLAYER_ANALYTICS,
enabled: true,
priority: 1,
config: createPlayerAnalyticsProviderConfig(
'https://api.flicknexs.com', // Your API base URL
'your-api-key', // Your API key
'main-player', // Player ID
{
tenantId: 'your-tenant-id', // Optional
heartbeatInterval: 10, // 10 seconds
batchSize: 10, // 10 events per batch
flushInterval: 30 // 30 seconds
}
)
}
],
globalSettings: {
enableConsoleLogging: true,
enableErrorReporting: true,
sessionTimeout: 60 // 60 minutes
}
};
// Create analytics manager
const analyticsManager = createDynamicAnalyticsManager(analyticsConfig);
```
#### JavaScript (CommonJS)
```javascript
const {
createDynamicAnalyticsManager,
createPlayerAnalyticsProviderConfig,
AnalyticsProviderType
} = require('./analytics');
// Configure analytics
const analyticsConfig = {
enabled: true,
providers: [
{
name: 'player-analytics',
type: AnalyticsProviderType.PLAYER_ANALYTICS,
enabled: true,
priority: 1,
config: createPlayerAnalyticsProviderConfig(
'https://api.flicknexs.com', // Your API base URL
'your-api-key', // Your API key
'main-player', // Player ID
{
tenantId: 'your-tenant-id', // Optional
heartbeatInterval: 10, // 10 seconds
batchSize: 10, // 10 events per batch
flushInterval: 30 // 30 seconds
}
)
}
],
globalSettings: {
enableConsoleLogging: true,
enableErrorReporting: true,
sessionTimeout: 60 // 60 minutes
}
};
// Create analytics manager
const analyticsManager = createDynamicAnalyticsManager(analyticsConfig);
```
### 2. Start Analytics Session
#### TypeScript
```typescript
// Start session when video loads
const sessionId = analyticsManager.startSession({
id: 'video-123',
title: 'Sample Video',
type: 'video',
duration: 3600,
url: 'https://example.com/video.mp4'
}, {
userId: 'user-456',
customData: 'any-custom-data'
});
```
#### JavaScript
```javascript
// Start session when video loads
const sessionId = analyticsManager.startSession({
id: 'video-123',
title: 'Sample Video',
type: 'video',
duration: 3600,
url: 'https://example.com/video.mp4'
}, {
userId: 'user-456',
customData: 'any-custom-data'
});
```
### 3. Track Events
#### TypeScript
```typescript
// Track player events
analyticsManager.trackEvent('play', playerState);
analyticsManager.trackEvent('pause', playerState);
analyticsManager.trackEvent('seeking', playerState, {
seekFrom: 120,
seekTo: 180
});
// Track custom events
analyticsManager.trackCustomEvent('quality_change', {
newQuality: '1080p',
previousQuality: '720p',
reason: 'user_selected'
});
// End session
await analyticsManager.endSession();
```
#### JavaScript
```javascript
// Track player events
analyticsManager.trackEvent('play', playerState);
analyticsManager.trackEvent('pause', playerState);
analyticsManager.trackEvent('seeking', playerState, {
seekFrom: 120,
seekTo: 180
});
// Track custom events
analyticsManager.trackCustomEvent('quality_change', {
newQuality: '1080p',
previousQuality: '720p',
reason: 'user_selected'
});
// End session (using async/await)
try {
await analyticsManager.endSession();
console.log('Analytics session ended successfully');
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error ending analytics session:', error);
}
// Alternative: End session with Promises
analyticsManager.endSession()
.then(() => {
console.log('Analytics session ended successfully');
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error('Error ending analytics session:', error);
});
```
## API Integration
The system maps internal events to your player analytics API format:
### Event Mapping
| Internal Event | API Event | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `play` | `play` | Playback started |
| `pause` | `pause` | Playback paused |
| `ended` | `ended` | Playback completed |
| `seeking` | `seeking` | Seeking started |
| `seeked` | `seeked` | Seeking completed |
| `waiting` | `waiting` | Buffering started |
| `stalled` | `stalled` | Buffering ended |
| `qualitychange` | `quality_change` | Quality changed |
| `volumechange` | `volume_change` | Volume changed |
| `fullscreenchange` | `fullscreen_change` | Fullscreen toggled |
| `error` | `error` | Player error |
| `timeupdate` | `heartbeat` | Regular progress update |
| `chapterstart` | `custom_chapter_start` | Chapter started |
| `chapterend` | `custom_chapter_end` | Chapter ended |
| `chapterskip` | `custom_chapter_skip` | Chapter skipped |
### API Payload Structure
Events are sent to your `/analytics/player/ingest` endpoint with this structure:
```json
{
"session": {
"sessionId": "sess_1728567890_abc123",
"playerId": "main-player",
"timestamp": 1728567890000,
"customData": {
"userId": "user-456"
}
},
"events": [
{
"eventType": "play",
"timestamp": 1728567890000,
"currentTime": 120.5,
"video": {
"id": "video-123",
"title": "Sample Video",
"type": "video",
"duration": 3600
},
"device": {
"deviceType": "desktop",
"os": "Windows",
"browser": "Chrome",
"screen": { "width": 1920, "height": 1080 }
},
"player": {
"volume": 0.8,
"muted": false,
"playbackRate": 1
}
}
]
}
```
## Advanced Usage
### Multiple Analytics Providers

const config: DynamicAnalyticsConfig = {
enabled: true,
providers: [
// Primary: Your Player Analytics API
{
name: 'player-analytics',
type: AnalyticsProviderType.PLAYER_ANALYTICS,
enabled: true,
priority: 1,
config: createPlayerAnalyticsProviderConfig(
'https://api.flicknexs.com',
'your-api-key',
'main-player'
)
},
// Secondary: Custom Provider (e.g., Google Analytics)
{
name: 'google-analytics',
type: AnalyticsProviderType.CUSTOM,
enabled: true,
priority: 2,
config: {
factory: (config) => new CustomGoogleAnalyticsProvider(config),
measurementId: 'G-XXXXXXXXXX'
}
}
]
};
```

#### TypeScript
```typescript
// Add provider at runtime
analyticsManager.addProvider(
'new-analytics',
AnalyticsProviderType.CUSTOM,
{ factory: (config) => new NewAnalyticsProvider(config) }
);
// Toggle provider
analyticsManager.toggleProvider('google-analytics', false);
// Remove provider
await analyticsManager.removeProvider('old-provider');
```
#### JavaScript
```javascript
// Add provider at runtime
analyticsManager.addProvider(
'new-analytics',
AnalyticsProviderType.CUSTOM,
{ factory: (config) => new NewAnalyticsProvider(config) }
);
// Toggle provider
analyticsManager.toggleProvider('google-analytics', false);
// Remove provider (using async/await)
try {
await analyticsManager.removeProvider('old-provider');
console.log('Provider removed successfully');
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error removing provider:', error);
}
// Remove provider (using Promises)
analyticsManager.removeProvider('old-provider')
.then(() => {
console.log('Provider removed successfully');
})
.catch((error) => {
console.error('Error removing provider:', error);
});
```

```
## Device Detection
The system automatically detects device information:
- **Device Type**: mobile, tablet, smart_tv, desktop, tv
- **Operating System**: Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, tvOS, etc.
- **Browser**: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Opera
- **Screen Resolution**: Actual screen dimensions
- **Network**: Connection type, bandwidth, RTT (when available)
## Event Batching
Events are batched for efficient network usage:
- **Batch Size**: Configurable number of events per batch (default: 10)
- **Batch Interval**: Time interval for sending batches (default: 30s)
- **Retry Logic**: Exponential backoff with jitter
- **Offline Storage**: Events persisted in localStorage during network outages
## Engagement Tracking
The system tracks comprehensive engagement metrics:
- **Total Watch Time**: Actual time spent watching
- **Unique Watch Time**: Time spent watching unique content (no replay)
- **Completion Percentage**: How much of the video was watched
- **Seek Events**: Number of seek operations
- **Quality Changes**: Number of quality adjustments
- **Fullscreen Toggles**: Number of fullscreen mode changes
- **Buffering Time**: Total time spent buffering
## Error Handling
Robust error handling ensures analytics don't break your player:
- **Provider Failures**: Individual provider failures don't affect others
- **Network Errors**: Automatic retry with exponential backoff
- **API Errors**: Graceful error handling and logging
- **Fallback Behavior**: Analytics failures never break player functionality
## Language Support
