Question by Manav R. · Mar 25, 2015 at 06:50 AM ·

Performance Mesurement - Videos hosted on YouTube or Scene7

Hi- 

I have quick question on capturing the Video streaming numbers using DynaTrace. We have videos which are embedded on our webpages but hosted outside the application like on YouTube or Adobe Scene7.

The video viewer which our application is using is also from the thrid party websites. Can we capture the performance statistics using DT for the videos hosted on third party application?

Current DynaTrace version : - 5.6.0

 

Thanks,

Yogesh

you will find the YouTube player API here:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/js_api_reference?hl=en

those events can be taken to use the ADK (linked by Roman) to create custom metrics.

Best regards

Heiko

Hi,

If you use UEM on your site you could also use the streaming capabilities to report back how often the videos are played, buffer times and so on. Will require a bit of custom JavaScript  though - documentation is here: JavaScript ADK and JavaScript Ajax ADK#ReportingPlaybackofMediaStreams

Best, Roman

Hi

I assume both YouTube and Scene7 are exposing these access statistics via a REST or SOAP Interface? if that is the case you can either use our Generic Execution Plugin as this allows you to call a SOAP Web Service and pull the results into dynatrace. Or - you can create your own plugin that pulls in the data from YouTube and Scene7. We got good documentation on how to create a new plugin: Manage and Develop User Plugins

Thanks for your reply Andreas.

Nither YouTube or nor S7 exposed any REST  services to use. Do DynaTrace has anything out of the box feature to allow it? Gather stats for the videos hosted on third part sites.
