Registering Kaltura Player Events to Additional Player Events  

In addition to the plugin build-in events, all of Kaltura player events can be registered by the plugin and reported to Omniture. Additional properties can be sent with these events.

A test page demonstrating custom events can be found here.

To set up Omniture custom events

  1. Define the player events you want to track by filling the "Kaltura player events" field in the Universal Studio ('customEvents' Flashvar). This should be a comma-delimited string holding the event strings.
    For example:
    "openFullScreen,closeFullScreen,firstQuartile" 
    Note: do not use spaces between the event strings.
  2. For each player event, define an Omniture event string.
    For example:
    'openFullScreenEvent': 'event50'
  3. Define one or more variables for each event. For each variable, you need to define a value, which can be fixed or evaluated using curly brackets syntax.
    For example: 'openFullScreenEvar1': "eVar50"',
    openFullScreenEvar1Value': "{mediaProxy.entry.id}"',
    openFullScreenEvar2': "eVar51"',
    openFullScreenEvar2Value': "{mediaProxy.entry.name}" 
  4. Define one or more properties for each event. For each property, you need to define a value, which can be fixed or evaluated using curly brackets syntax. For example:'openFullScreenProp1': "prop50" 'openFullScreenProp1Value': "{configProxy.flashvars.referer}"
  5. You can also define generic variables and properties that will be sent with all custom events. These can be fixed or evaluated as well:
    1. Define the variables / properties names as a comma-delimited string in the "Omniture variables and properties" field in the Universal Studio ('additionalEvarsAndProps' Flashvar).
      For example:
      'additionalEvarsAndProps': "eVar51,prop44" 
      Note: do not use spaces between the strings.
    2. For each variable / property, define its value using a comma-delimited string in the "Kaltura values" field in the Universal Studio ('additionalEvarsAndPropsValues Flashvar). The order of the values corresponds to the order of the variables defined in the 'additionalEvarsAndProps' Flashvar.
      For example:
      'additionalEvarsAndPropsValues': "{mediaProxy.entry.creatorId},{mediaProxy.entry.createdAt}" 
      Note: do not use spaces between the strings.
