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:

    code language-none 
    - (void)onSeekStart:(NSNotification *)notification {
    [_mediaHeartbeat trackEvent:ADBMediaHeartbeatEventSeekStart
                     mediaObject:nil
                     data:nil];
}

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

    code language-none 
    - (void)onSeekComplete:(NSNotification *)notification {
    [_mediaHeartbeat trackEvent:ADBMediaHeartbeatEventSeekComplete
                     mediaObject:nil
                     data:nil];
}
