The methodology of gemiusStream

Gathering data

gemiusStream uses  information about users (derived from cookies) viewing multimedia materials as well as data concerning actions (such as rewinding/fast-forwarding, staring/finishing or pausing) performed to the files while they were played on the appropriate applications (players). The research service is available in three options, depending on the type of player used to view multimedia content:  

1. players with no access to the source code (data transferred offline),  

2. players with access to the source code (data transferred online):

• flash players utilising the FLVPlayback component,
• flash players that do not use the FLVPlayback component and other.

The form and scope of the presented information

The statistics are computed immediately upon their arrival at the processing modules and are then presented via the interface. In case of players with no access to the source code, any potential delays in presenting the data are conditioned on the client's timely delivery of action data (server logs).

gemiusStream interface:

The gemiusStream interface provides access to regularly updated data on the behaviour of users exposed to  video/audio media. With the interface, you can perform a range of flexible and complex analyses for particular items or categories of content broken down into different time units (hours, days weeks, months).
