This page covers the Bitrate changes metric. Adobe Analytics auto-populates a paired Bitrate changes (dimension) from the same a.media.qoe.bitrateChangeCount context data variable. Customer Journey Analytics exposes a single mediaReporting.qoeDataDetails.bitrateChangeCount field that you can use as either a dimension or a metric. See Bitrate change for how to fire bitrate-change events.
The Bitrate changes metric counts bitrate-change events across sessions, suitable for sums, averages, and percentile rollups. Use the metric to compute the total volume of bitrate changes in a report period and to compare bitrate-stability across content, networks, or players.
How this metric is calculated
The media backend increments the count on every bitrate change event received during the session. The metric is reported on the close call.
a.media.qoe.bitrateChangeCount when Media Quality is enabled.c_contextdata.a.media.qoe.bitrateChangeCountFor session-level boolean reporting (whether the session experienced any bitrate change at all), use Bitrate change impacted streams.
