Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes a computer server machine receiving information about a first media player event with the information about the first media player event including a viewing session identifier. Using a state machine, the computer server machine identifies a current state of the viewing session using the information about the first media player event. The computer server machine receives information about a second media player event. Using a state machine, the computer server machine identifies a subsequent state of the viewing session using the information about the second media player event. The computer server machine calculates metrics for the viewing session based on the current state and subsequent state, and stores the metrics. The computer server machine generates a session summary with the session summary including information about the metrics for the viewing session.
