Using CustomVar1 in Kaltura analytics

Community Forums Kaltura Players and Player Plugins

Hello. This is regarding kaltura player analytics using the new Playkit and Kava SDKs.

Background

According to documentation of Playkit and Kava configuration - https://github.com/kaltura/playkit-js-kava/blob/master/docs/configuration-api.md - CustomVars (CustomVar1, CustomVar2 etc.) are objects. However, the analytics API - https://www.kaltura.com/api_v3/testmeDoc/actions/report.getTable.html - seems to take a value (a simple string). We would like to pass a code to CustomVar1 and filter the analytics using this. Could somebody please let me know what is the right way to configure CustomVar1 in Kava?

I tried the following but not useful

customVar1: {
   code: "test_code"
}

Best,
Phani

Hi Phani, you may use simple strings as well - we will update the document to reflect this.
