Datazoom is a high-availability real-time data collection solution. This document summarizes how to integrate your JW Player with the Datazoom platform.
Login to Datazoom here: https://app.datazoom.io
Add a Collector as indicated here: How to add a Collector
Copy the CONFIG ID to be used in the subsequent steps
Plugin Integration
Datazoom provides plugins for data collection through our Beacon Services. Integrate the JW 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_IDvalue with Collector configuration id.
This inserts Datazoom's data collection SDK into the page.
Insert your JW Player license into the page. Every customer will have their own license for JW player.
<script src="http://jwpsrv.com/library/<your_licensed_player.js>"></script>
Activate Data Collection for a JW Player
To activate data collection for a JW Player instance, create a Datazoom context which references the player instance with the following snippet:
datazoom_context = datazoom.createContext(jw_player);
For example:
<html>
<head>
<!-- THE JW PLAYER LICENSE SCRIPT -->
<script src='https://content.jwplatform.com/libraries/JW_LICENSE.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 class="vid-container">
<div id="jw-player">
</div>
</div>
<script>
var jw_player;
var datazoom_context;
var config = {
file: "https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4",
image: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a7/Big_Buck_Bunny_thumbnail_vlc.png/320px-Big_Buck_Bunny_thumbnail_vlc.png",
title: "BigBuckBunny-mp4® Product Video",
height: 360,
width: 640
};
// Create a Player instance
jw_player = jwplayer("jw-player").setup(config);
//Activates data collection
datazoom_context = datazoom.createContext(jw_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 (jw_player) {
jw_player.remove();
jw_player = null;
}
if (datazoom_context) {
datazoom_context.destroy();
datazoom_context = null;
}
