Facilitating a decision of a content player is disclosed. In some cases, performance information associated with a content player is received. The information is received from a client. A determination is made that an update should be sent to the client. The update is sent to the client. In other cases, information is received from an external entity. Based at least in part on the received information, an instruction is sent to a content player.

Facilitating client decisions

Determining a stateful metric includes receiving a first mapped event that is generated based on semantic mapping of a first raw event associated with a first time. It further includes receiving a second mapped event that is generated based on semantic mapping of a second raw event associated with a second time that is subsequent to the first time. It further includes determining a stateful metric based on the first mapped event and the second mapped event.

Semantic mapping

Determining a time-state metric includes receiving a stream of raw data values of an attribute. Each received raw data value of the attribute is associated with a timestamp. It further includes converting the received stream of raw data values into a timeline representation of the attribute over time. The timeline representation comprises a sequence of spans. A span comprises a span start time, a span end time, and a span value. The span value comprises an encoding of one or more values of the attribute over a time interval determined by the span start time and the span end time. It further includes determining a time-state metric according to a timeline request configuration. The timeline request configuration comprises one or more timeline operations. The time-state metric is computed at least in part by performing a timeline operation on the timeline representation of the attribute.
