Configuration

The snippets below explain how you can pass on Conviva settings to a THEOplayer configuration object.

Web SDK

A code example can be found at http://demo.theoplayer.com/conviva-analytics-test-page-20171024.

var convivaConfiguration = {
  integration: "conviva",
  customerKey: "<CUSTOMER_KEY>",
  gatewayUrl: "<GATEWAY_URL>",
  contentMetadata: {
    assetName: "<ASSET_NAME>",
    live: isLive,
    // "viewerId": "<VIEWER_ID>",
    // "defaultBitRateKbps": "<DEFAULT_BITRATE_KBPS>",
    // "defaultResource": "<DEFAULT_RESOURCE>",
    // "duration": 1000,
    // "encodedFrameRate": 30,
    // "applicationName": "<APPLICATION_NAME>"
    // "custom": {
    // 	"<KEY>": "<VALUE>",
    // }
  },
};
player.source = {
  analytics: [convivaConfiguration],
  sources: [typedSource],
};
Android (TV) SDK

The snippet below is an example configuration for Conviva.

HashMap<String, String> customConvivaMetadata = new HashMap<>();
int defaultBitRateKbps = 1000,
    duration = 1000,
    encodedFrameRate = 30,
    heartbeatInterval = 5;
boolean isLive = false,
        isManualSessionControl = false;
customConvivaMetadata.put("<KEY>", "<VALUE>");
ConvivaConfiguration convivaConfiguration = new ConvivaConfiguration.Builder("customerKey",
    new ConvivaContentMetadata.Builder("<ASSET_NAME>")
        .applicationName("<APPLICATION_NAME>")
        .defaultBitrateKbps(defaultBitRateKbps)
        .defaultResource("<DEFAULT_RESOURCE>")
        .duration(duration)
        .encodedFrameRate(encodedFrameRate)
        .live(isLive)
        .viewerId("<VIEWER_ID>")
        .custom(customConvivaMetadata)
        .build())
    .gatewayUrl("<GATEWAY_URL>")
    .heartbeatInterval(heartbeatInterval)
    .manualSessionControl(isManualSessionControl)
    .build();

SourceDescription sourceDescription = SourceDescription.Builder.sourceDescription()
    .sources(typedSource)
    .analytics(convivaConfiguration)
    .build();
iOS (/tvOS) SDK

The snippet below is an example configuration for Conviva.

let isLive = false
let contentMetadata = ConvivaContentMetadata(
    assetName: "<ASSET_NAME>",
    live: isLive,
    // defaultBitrateKbps: defaultBitrateKbps,
    // defaultResource: "<DEFAULT_RESOURCE>",
    // duration: duration,
    // encodedFrameRate: encodedFrameRate,
    // applicationName: "<APPLICATION_NAME>",
    viewerId: "<VIEWER_ID>"
    // , custom: [:]
)

let convivaConfiguration = ConvivaConfiguration(
    customerKey: "876a2328cc34e791190d855daf389567c96d1e86",
    // heartbeatInterval: heartbeatInterval,
    gatewayURL: "https://theoplayer-test.testonly.conviva.com",
    contentMetadata: contentMetadata
    // , manualSessionControl: isManualSessionControl
)

let sourceDescription = SourceDescription(
        source: TypedSource(
        src: "https://cdn.theoplayer.com/video/elephants-dream/playlist.m3u8",
        type: "application/x-mpegurl"
    ),
    analytics: [convivaConfiguration]
)

Known Limitation:

The pre-integration inside the SDK has limited support for Video Anaytics Product only offered by Conviva. It is also not tested with every version of the conviva library released and thus could be broken with future releases. (Support only validated for library stated in the documentation)
