Player sequence (sample)

The playerSessionId remains the same for consecutive playing session (if the user plays 4 episodes in a row, they would share one playerSessionId.
The mediaSessionId remains the same for single viewing of the content.

Player is paused:

  • for Pluto TV Podcasts sending player.contentHeartbeat is optional

  • after some timeout (~1 minute) player.sessionEnded is sent by the app

  • if user hits play after timeout (see point above)

    • player.sessionStarted is sent

      • new mediaSessionId is generated

      • playerSessionId remains the same

      • flag data.metadata.sessionResumed should be set to true

      • rest of data in player.sessionStarted should remain the same

    • player.contentPlayingStarted is sent

Episode loaded (0 sec)
