When collecting Streaming Media data into ۶Ƶ Experience Platform, the XDM field paths shown under the heading of “XDM Field Path” of the Streaming Media parameters documentation should no longer be used. Instead, customers who implemented the Analytics source connector to collect Streaming Media data into Platform before May 9, 2025 must migrate their existing configurations to the mediaReporting field paths, as shown under the heading of “Reporting XDM Field Path” of the Streaming Media parameters documentation.
These field paths are found on the following pages and are marked as “Deprecated”: Audio and video parameters,Ad parameters,Chapter parameters,Player state parameters, and Quality parameters. (No action is required for customers who implement the Analytics source connector after May 9, 2025, and are already using only mediaReporting XDM paths.)
Data ingestion on the deprecated XDM field paths will continue until the end of October 2025. After that time, deprecated field paths will be fully removed and no longer visible in the ۶Ƶ Experience Platform Schema UI, and data will be sent only using the mediaReporting field paths.
For more information, see Migrate an Analytics Source Connector implementation to updated XDM Streaming Media fields.
Please contact your ۶Ƶ Consulting Services or Account team for migration support.
You can now use the ۶Ƶ Experience Platform Web SDK to send streaming media web data to ۶Ƶ Experience Platform Edge Network, allowing you to build more personalized campaigns and provide more personalized content, resulting in more tracking data to report on.
This enhancement provides a unified collection method for web implementations across all Platform solutions, such as Customer Journey Analytics, RT-CDP, AJO, and Event Forwarding. Previously, the only way to send streaming media web data to Edge Network was by using the Media Edge API.
You can now use the Experience Edge API and Mobile SDK to implement the ۶Ƶ Streaming Media Collection, allowing you to build more personalized campaigns and provide more personalized content, resulting in more tracking data to report on.
This enhancement provides a unified collection method across all solutions, such as Customer Journey Analytics reporting, RT-CDP, AJO, and Event Forwarding. Learn more
