Release Notes

New Features & Enhancements

• New Event Types Introduced
  • VideoAction: This event type represents standard actions related to video playback and interaction.
  • VideoErrorAction: This event type captures errors that occur during video playback, providing detailed insight for troubleshooting.
  • VideoAdAction: Dedicated event type for tracking actions related to video advertisements, ensuring better granularity and reporting.
  • VideoCustomAction: A flexible event type for custom actions and interactions within video applications.

Deprecations

• MobileVideo
  • The MobileVideo event type has been deprecated. Users should transition to using the newer event types that offer enhanced tracking capabilities and specificity.

New Attributes Introduced

• We have introduced a set of new attributes to enhance data tracking and analytics. These attributes provide additional context and details for the new event types
  Please refer to the data model documentation for more details.
  Event Types
  • VideoAction: Events triggered by general video interactions, such as starting, pausing, or seeking.
  • VideoAdAction: Events related to ad playback, such as starting, completing, or skipping an ad.
  • VideoErrorAction: Events triggered by errors encountered during video or ad playback.
  • VideoCustomAction: Custom events defined to capture specific actions or interactions beyond default event types.

Impact & Actions Required

• Transition from MobileVideo: Users currently tracking MobileVideo events should adapt their implementations to utilise the newly introduced event types. This change provides improved specificity and scope in tracking actions across video interactions.
• Update Implementations: Integrators should update their systems to leverage new attributes introduced with the release, which provide richer context and detail for event tracking.
• Testing & Validation: We recommend testing the implementation of new attributes and event types to ensure compatibility and correct data transmission.
