General Info

What should I be tracking?
In the first iteration of TVPR, your implementation should track only program content and no advertisements. You should call the library's track-Method only once per stream.

Where can we find a copy of the privacy statement and any software licenses which may be necessary?
Please discuss this with your Project Owner who will advise you accordingly.

Content and Advertising

How do I manage pre- and mid-rolls?
In most cases, it is enough to connect the Kantar library to only the content object in your player, and not connect it to advertisement objects. The library will automatically keep track of the content when it is being paused for mid-rolls. You should not try to micro-manage what the library is doing. The play head position reported via the main content won't change whilst commercials are playing (it's paused during this time).

In total we could potentially have up to 11 net streams created in one session. If we were to start measuring from the first advert, the net stream created and passed to SpringStream would not be the same net stream that would be used for the actual content. We can call "stream.stop()" and then call "track()" again with new meta data and net stream, but would this be classed as the same user session?  Using the above example we would be calling the "stop()" "track()" combination quite a few times. Is this correct?
Unless commercials are being specifically tracked, you’ll need to pause the polling to our systems when there is an ad running, and this is done by triggering the stop() and start() functions as you see in the doc. This will all be the same user session. Importantly you will need to be careful not to use the unload() function, because then you will lose the UID, and the same stream will in fact become another view.

Mobile App Streaming

What happens if my app is sent to the background by the user?
A Stop event is called when the app goes to background causing a new measurement session to start when user returns and resumes.
