Media Reporting Details is a standard Experience Data Model (XDM) data type that captures essential details about media playback events. Use the Media Reporting Details data type to capture details such as the playhead position within the content, unique session identifiers, and various nested properties related to session, among others. This data type provides a comprehensive overview of the playback experience that enables the tracking and analysis of media consumption patterns and associated events during playback sessions.

NOTE
This data type belongs to the mediaReporting schema — the fields Adobe computes from mediaCollection data sent by your implementation and ingests into Platform datasets. These fields are not sent directly from your implementation. While your implementation transmits many event types, Platform ingests records for five key events: media.sessionStart, media.adStart, media.adComplete, media.chapterComplete, and media.sessionComplete. See Streaming media XDM reporting schema for details.
