AWS IVS Media Player

v2.25.0 • For the Javascript Collector

The AWS IVS Media Player Extension is a configuration option for the Javascript Collector by Datazoom that makes the following additional data points automatically collectable in real time.

Integration Instructions

Plugin Integration

Datazoom provides plugins for data collection through our Beacon Services. Integrate the AWS IVS Player plugin into your web application with the following snippet:

<script src='https://platform.datazoom.io/beacon/v1/config?configuration_id=CONFIG_ID'></script>

Insert this line into your HTML
Replace the CONFIG_ID value with Collector configuration id.

This inserts Datazoom's data collection SDK into the page.

Include the following tag (for the latest version of the AWS IVS player).

<script src="https://player.live-video.net/1.21.0/amazon-ivs-player.min.js"></script>

Activate Data Collection for an AWS IVS Player

To activate data collection for an AWS IVS Player instance, create a Datazoom context which references the player instance with the following snippet:

datazoom_context = datazoom.createContext(aws_ivs_player);

For example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <!-- THE AWS IVS SCRIPT -->
    <script src="https://player.live-video.net/1.16.0/amazon-ivs-player.min.js"></script>
    <!-- THE DATAZOOM BEACON SCRIPT -->
    <script src='https://platform.datazoom.io/beacon/v1/config?configuration_id=CONFIG_ID'></script>
</head>

<body>
    <!-- THE VIDEO PLAYER -->
    <div>
       <video id="video" style="width:50%;height:50%" controls></video>
    </div>
    <script>
      var aws_ivs_player;
      var datazoom_context;
      var url = "https://test-streams.mux.dev/x36xhzz/x36xhzz.m3u8";
      
      // Create a Player instance
      if (IVSPlayer.isPlayerSupported) {
            aws_ivs_player = IVSPlayer.create();
            aws_ivs_player.attachHTMLVideoElement(document.getElementById("video"));
            aws_ivs_player.load(url);
            
            // Activates data collection
            datazoom_context = datazoom.createContext(aws_ivs_player);
        }
    </script>
</body>

</html>

Stop Data Collection

If the data collection must be stopped for any reason, for example after the destruction of the corresponding player instance, invoke the destroy() method of the Datazoom context object as in the following example:

if (aws_ivs_player) {
    aws_ivs_player.delete();
    aws_ivs_player = null;
}

if (datazoom_context) {
    datazoom_context.destroy();
    datazoom_context = null;
}

NPM (Node Package Manager)

We have made it convenient to manage your Amazon IVS Collector integration by providing NPM (Node Package Manager) support. Please see installation details here.
