Abstract: Methods and apparatus to measure exposure to streaming media are disclosed. An example apparatus includes for measurement of exposure to streaming media includes at least one memory, instructions in the apparatus, and processor circuitry to execute the instructions to: access metadata identifying media presented to a user, and cookie data, the metadata and the cookie data provided by a client device; determine whether the cookie data identifies the user to a database proprietor; in response to a determination that the cookie data does not identify the user to the database proprietor, send a redirect message instructing the client device to retransmit the metadata to a next-hop location; and in response to a determination that the cookie data does identify the user to the database proprietor, provide the metadata and a user identifier to a central facility.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture (e.g., physical storage media) to credit commercial broadcasts are disclosed. Example commercial crediting apparatus disclosed herein compare first identification information and first timing information obtained from a first monitored data feed with second identification information and second timing information in a second monitored data feed to identify a first final distributor code represented in the second monitoring data feed, the first identification information and the first timing information corresponding to a first commercial represented in the first monitored data feed. Disclosed example apparatus also access data that maps a first original distributor code to the first final distributor code, identify the first commercial in lineup data based on the first original distributor code, and adjust, based on a duration of the first commercial, a duration obtained for a first media program listed in the lineup data.

Abstract: Disclosed examples include logging impression records corresponding to pingback messages received in network communications from a client device, ones of the pingback messages corresponding to portions of media presented at the client device; determining a duration impression for the media based on the impression records; dividing the duration impression based on media types corresponding to the portions of the media presented at the client device; and determining demographic characteristics for ones of the media types in the portions of the media.

The configuration file may be sent to the media player.

Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to implement under-addressable advertisement measurement are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein determine a tuned under-addressable advertisement duration and a total tuned advertisement duration for a first television broadcast at a first monitored site, the tuned under-addressable advertisement duration and the total tuned advertisement duration determined based on (i) return-path tuning data associated with the first monitored site, (ii) linear advertisement log data associated with a broadcast area including the first monitored site, and (iii) addressable advertisement log data associated with the first monitored site.

Abstract: An example apparatus includes memory and at least one processor to execute first instructions. The first instructions cause the at least one processor to send second instructions from a first server to a client device. The second instructions cause the client device to send first messages to a second server at intervals based on a presentation of media via the client device. The second instructions cause the client device to send a second message to the second server based on a skip request associated with the presentation of the media via the client device. The first instructions further cause the at least one processor to log impressions corresponding to the first messages and the second message, and to determine a duration impression for the media based on the logged impressions. The duration impression identifies the portions of the media that were presented at the client device.

Abstract: An example includes a segment collector to: access impression records indicative of media access segments, the media access segments including start times and end times corresponding to media accessed by a panelist; and determine ones of the impression records that include a watermark corresponding to a first media platform presenting the media; a segment classifier to convert a first one of the impression records including the watermark to a converted impression record; and combine the converted impression record corresponding to the first media platform and a second impression record corresponding to a second media platform; and a media creditor to generate audience measurement metrics based on the combined impression records.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to monitor a media presentation are disclosed. An example method includes in response to receipt of a media identifier, extracting, by executing an instruction with a processor, a timestamp from the received media identifier. A time of receipt of the media identifier is determined. A difference between the time of receipt of the media identifier and the timestamp from the received media identifier is determined. A time shifted viewing code is calculated based on the difference The time shifted viewing code is transmitted to a media monitor that transmitted the media identifier, the time shifted viewing code to be reported when the media monitor reports monitoring information.
