Seek tracking constants

Constant nameDescription
MediaHeartbeat.Event.SeekStartConstant for tracking Seek Start event.
MediaHeartbeat.Event.SeekCompleteConstant for tracking Seek Complete event.

Implement seeking

  1. Listen for the playback seeking events from the media player, and on seek start event notification, track seeking using the SeekStart event:

    public void onSeekStart(Observable observable, Object data) {
    _heartbeat.trackEvent(MediaHeartbeat.Event.SeekStart, null, null);
}

  2. On seek complete notification from the media player, track the end of seeking using the SeekComplete event:

    public void onSeekComplete(Observable observable, Object data) {
    _heartbeat.trackEvent(MediaHeartbeat.Event.SeekComplete, null, null);
}

See the tracking scenario VOD playback with seeking in the main content for more information.
