Features

Video custom fields in the Adobe Analytics (Web SDK) plugin

The bcAaWebSdk plugin can now send a video's custom fields to Adobe Analytics props and eVars. To send a field, add an entry named bcvideo_video_custom_field_<id> to the plugin's paramsToTrack option, where <id> is the field's internal name in Video Cloud, not its display name:

{
  "paramsToTrack": {
    "bcvideo_video_custom_field_genre": "prop6",
    "bcvideo_video_custom_field_series": "eVar5"
  }
}

• The field's value is sent with every video event. It is not sent with bcvideo_player_load, which fires before a video is loaded.
• Nothing is sent for a video that has no value in that field.

Add the entries through the Studio Players JSON Editor or the Player Management API.

Fixes

• [Interactivity] Fix an issue where the Sign In widget reappeared shortly after the viewer clicked Skip and stayed on screen until the end of its time window. After Skip or Submit, the widget now stays closed for the rest of the page view, including when the viewer seeks back into its time window.
