Commanders Act's video specification lets you define how a customer engages with your videos and the related ad content.
This documentation details the conventions and best practices for sending events when tracking videos. The document clarifies the structure and classification of these events, which fall into four categories: Playback
, Content
, Ads
and Video Settings
.
Playback
Playback events are tied to the actual playback of video content and track information about the video player.
For example, when a customer plays a video on an app, a Video Playback Started event is sent along with a unique session_id. All subsequent events generated from that session are tied to the same session_id.
If a web page has two video players, there will be two separate sessions and associated session_ids. However, if two separate videos are played on the same video player, they will still be considered a single session with two associated pieces of content.
Playback Events Properties
All the playback events share the same properties that describe the current state of the video player.
The following table lists all the properties of this playback event object in detail:
Property
Type
Required
Description
A unique ID that ties all the events
generated from a specific playback session.
These events include playback, content, and
ad events.
Denotes the title of the video content.
Denotes the genre of the video content asset.
Denotes the publisher / creator / author of the
video content asset.
Content asset ID/s of the video/s playing or
about to be played.
For Video Playback Started
events, an array
of unique asset IDs should be sent. For other
playback events, a singular content asset ID
at the time of the event should be sent.
Content pod ID/s of the video/s playing or
about to be played.
For Video Playback Started
events, an array
of unique pod IDs should be sent. For other
playback events, a singular content pod ID
associated with the current content pod at the
time of the event should be sent.
Ad asset ID/s of the video/s playing or
about to be played.
For Video Playback Started
events, an array
of unique ad asset IDs should be sent. For other
playback events, a singular ad asset ID
at the time of the event should be sent.
Ad pod ID/s of the video/s playing or
about to be played.
For Video Playback Started
events, an array
of unique ad pod IDs should be sent. For other
playback events, a singular content pod ID
associated with the current ad pod at the
time of the event should be sent.
Denotes the type of ad playing at the time of the
event. The values can be 'pre-roll
', ' mid-roll
', or
'post-roll
'.
Denotes the current index position of the playhead
in seconds. It includes the duration of any seen ads.
Not required in video_buffer_start
and video_buffer_complete
events
If the playback is a livestream, refer to the
documentation of the relevant destination for steps
on correctly passing the playhead position.
Denotes the index position of the playhead where the
user is seeking to.
Only applicable on the video_seek_start
and video_seek_complete
events. On video_seek_complete
events,
the seek_position
should be equal to cursor_position
.
Denotes the total duration of the video playback
in seconds. Includes the whole duration of all
the content and ads included in the session.
Set to null
in case of a livestream playback.
Bit rate of the video playback, denoted in kbps
Denotes the average frame rate of the video
playback in fps
.
Denotes the name of the video player used for
playback. Example: youtube
, vimeo
, etc.
Denotes the sound level of the video playback.
Range is from 0-100, where 0 represents mute
and 100 is full volume.
Set to true
if the playback is in fullscreen
mode.
Set to false
if the user has any ad blockers.
If the user can view your video ads, it is set to
true
.
Specifies the quality of the video.
Examples: 'hd1080', 'highres'
For the Video Playback Interrupted
events,
you can send this property denoting how the
playback was interrupted.
Some examples include 'device_lock', 'call', and
'browser_redirect'.
Set to true
in case the playback is a live stream,
else set to false
.

Content
A content pod refers to a part / group / segment of the video content or the advertisement within the playback.
Suppose a video playback session has a video and one mid-roll advertisement. This means that the mid-roll ad splits the playback in two separate content pods. The mid-roll ad is included within a single ad pod.
The flow is as follows:
User starts and completes the first content pod
User starts and completes the ad
User starts and completes the second content pod
All of these events within the flow happen within one video playback.
Content Events Properties
All the content events share the same properties that describe the current state of the video content that is viewed by the user during the playback.
The following table lists all the properties of this playback event object in detail:

A unique ID that ties all the events
generated from a specific playback session.
These events include playback, content, and
ad events.
Denotes the unique ID of the ad asset.
Denotes the unique ID of the ad pod.
Denotes the position of the ad asset relative
to other ads in the same pod.
Denotes the type of ad playing at the time of the

Denotes the number of ad assets in the current
ad pod.
Denotes the title of the ad.
Denotes the author/ creator/ publisher of the ad.
The current playhead position in relation to the
total length of the ad, in seconds.
Denotes the total length of the ad asset in seconds.
Denotes if the ads are loaded dynamically or if
they are the same for all the users.
Values can be either 'dynamic
' or ' linear

Resuming Playback
Every Video Playback Resumed
the event should be followed by an event Video Content Playing
or a Video Ad Playing
event, depending on what asset the playback resumes to.
Video Quality
Commanders Act also lets you track and analyze the performance and quality of your video content during the playback.
Whenever a user changes the video quality during playback, you can track a Video Quality Updated event along with the following properties:
bitrate
: Denotes the updated bit rate in kbps
.
framerate
: Denotes the updated frame rate in fps
.
startupTime
: Denotes the time when the video quality was changed by the user.
droppedFrames
: Indicates if any frames were dropped during the video quality change.

FAQ
What are pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ads?
Ads that appear before the start of the video playback are called pre-roll ads.
Ads that appear in the middle of the playback are mid-roll ads.
Ads that appear after the video playback are called post-roll ads.
These ads can be a promotional video by the sponsors or a piece of content offered by the content provider.
