Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

trackMediaEvent()

trackMediaEvent function use to monitor user interactions with media content, such as audio or video files. It allows you to track various events related to media playback, such as play, pause, stop, seek, and complete, providing insights into user engagement with your media assets.

| Parameter | Description | |----------------|-----------------------------------------------------------| | mediaId | (required) A unique id that is always the same while playing a media. As soon as the played media changes. | | mediaResource | (required) The URL of the media resource. | | mediaType | (required) video or audio depending on the type of the media. You can used MediaType.VIDEO or MediaType.AUDIO | | mediaTitle | The name / title of the media. | | playerName | The name of the media player, for example html5. | | mediaStatus | The time in seconds for how long a user has been playing this media. This number should typically increase when you send a media tracking request. It should be 0 if the media was only visible/impressed but not played. Do not increase this number when a media is paused. | | mediaLength | The duration (the length) of the media in seconds. For example if a video is 90 seconds long, the value should be 90. | | mediaProgress | The progress / current position within the media. Defines basically at which position within the total length the user is currently playing. | | mediaTTP | Defines after how many seconds the user has started playing this media. For example a user might have seen the poster of the video for 30 seconds before a user actually pressed the play button. | | mediaWidth | The resolution width of the media in pixels. Only recommended being set for videos. | | mediaHeight | The resolution height of the media in pixels. Only recommended being set for videos. | | mediaFullScreen| Should be 0 or 1 and defines whether the media is currently viewed in full screen. Only recommended being set for videos. | | mediaSE | An optional comma separated list of which positions within a media a user has played. For example if the user has viewed position 5s, 10s, 15s and 35s, then you would need to send 5,10,15,35. We recommend to round to the next 5 seconds and not send a value for each second. Internally, Matomo may round to the next 15 or 30 seconds. For performance optimisation we recommend not sending the same position twice. Meaning if you have sent ma_se=10 there is no need to send later ma_se=10,20 but instead only ma_se=20. | | dimensions| Dimension contains a key and a value, and where the key is a custom dimension id created on the Matomo dashboard and the value should be a string, you'll need to ensure that the dimensions array is processed correctly. create custom dimension

Examples


trackMediaEvent({siteId:"siteid",mediaId:"unique id",mediaTitle:"video media play track",playerName:"test 08",mediaType:MediaType.VIDEO,mediaResource:"http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/gtv-videos-bucket/sample/BigBuckBunny.mp4",mediaStatus:"100",mediaLength:"100",mediaFullScreen:"1",mediaHeight:"720",mediaWidth:"1080",mediaProgress:"100", dimensions:[{key:"1",value: "cf7fad2e-fae4-4c49-9924-ad9a2a7c50de"}]});

Troubleshooting

To generate a token_auth follow these steps:

  • Log in to Matomo
  • Go to the Matomo Admin through the top menu
  • Click on Personal -> Security
  • At the bottom of the page click on “Create new token”
  • Confirm your account password
  • Enter the purpose for this token
  • Choose if the token should only be valid for secure requests (Matomo 5 and newer)

Click on “Create new token” You will now see the newly created token. Save it somewhere safe as you won’t be able to see it anymore once you leave that screen. For example, save it in a password manager. If you lose it, you will need to generate a new token.
