Dailymotion Media Player

v2.12.0 • For the Javascript Collector

The Dailymotion 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 Dailymotion 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 JS line into your HTML

  • Replace the CONFIG_ID value with the collector configuration ID.

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

Activate Data Collection for a Dailymotion

To activate data collection for a Dailymotion instance, create a Datazoom context which references the player instance with the following snippet:

datazoom_context = datazoom.createContext(dm_player);

For example:

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

<head>
    <script src="https://geo.dailymotion.com/libs/player.js"></script>
    <script src='https://platform.datazoom.io/beacon/v1/config?configuration_id=CONFIG_ID'></script>
</head>

<body>

<div>
    <div id="video" style="width:50%"></div>
    <hr/>
    <button id="create">Create</button>
    <button id="destroy">Destroy</button>
</div>

<script>

    var dm_player;
    var datazoom_context;

    document.getElementById("create").onclick = function() {
        dailymotion.createPlayer("video", { video: "k6B6qj2CaIw4Xbzv767" }).then(
            player => {
                dm_player = player;
                datazoom_context = datazoom.createContext(dm_player);
            },
            error => {
                console.error(error);
            }
        );
    };
</script>

</body>

</html>

Option 2: Activate Data Collection for an embed Dailymotion Player

For example:

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

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

<body>

<div>
    <div id="player-container" style="width:50%"></div>
    <script src="https://geo.dailymotion.com/player/xgt7i.js" data-video="k6B6qj2CaIw4Xbzv767">
    </script>
</div>

<script>

    var dm_player;
    var datazoom_context;

    document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", () => {
        dailymotion.getPlayer().then(player => {
            if (player) {
                dm_player = player;
                datazoom_context = datazoom.createContext(dm_player);
            }
            else {
                console.error("Dailymotion player object not found.");
            }
        });
    });

</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:

 document.getElementById("destroy").onclick = function() {
        if (dm_player) {
            dm_player.destroy();
            dm_player = null;
        }
        if (datazoom_context) {
            datazoom_context.destroy();
            datazoom_context = null;
        }
    };
