Abstract: A method includes logging first user interactions associated with a playlist of content items and generating first metrics based on the logged first user interactions with the playlist. The first metrics include a first metric indicating a first duration of playback of a first content item of the playlist during playback of the playlist. The first duration of playback of the first content item during the playback of the playlist is greater than a first default duration of playback. The method further includes reporting at least the first metric to a creator or curator of the playlist, logging second user interactions associated with the playlist, and generating second metrics based on the logged second user interactions with the playlist. The logged first user interactions correspond to more deviations from a default playback sequence of the playlist than the logged second user interactions.

Abstract: A method includes generating metrics based on a first plurality of interactions with first content of a playlist. A first metric indicates approval of a first content item of the playlist and a second metric indicates a first duration of playback of a second content item of the playlist during playback of the playlist. The first duration of playback of the second content item is greater than a first default duration of playback. The method further includes reporting at least the first metric and the second metric and receiving a modified playlist. The modified playlist may be the playlist modified based on at least the first metric. The method further includes identifying, in captured data associated with access to the modified playlist, a second plurality of interactions with second content of the modified playlist. The second plurality of interactions corresponds to fewer deviations than the first plurality of interactions.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing playlist analytics. A method includes logging first user interactions associated with a playlist of content items and generating metrics based on the logged first user interactions with the playlist. The playlist is associated with a default playback sequence of the content items. A first metric indicates a last content item played by a user from the playlist is different from a last content item in the default playback sequence associated with of the playlist. The method further includes reporting at least the first metric. The playlist is to be modified based on one or more of the plurality of metrics.

Abstract: Systems and methods can facilitate gathering information generated by network traffic to playlists.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for providing playlist analytics. A method includes logging first user interactions associated with a playlist of content and generating metrics regarding the logged first user interactions with the playlist of content. A first metric indicates that playback of the playlist ended on a content item that is different from a last content item in a default sequence of content items of the playlist. The first metric indicates a deviation from the default sequence of content items of the playlist. The method further includes reporting at least the first metric and logging second user interactions associated with a modified playlist. The modified playlist is the playlist modified based on one or more of the plurality of metrics. The first user interactions correspond to more deviations than the second user interactions.

Abstract: A system and method for providing web analytics describing video level events. The system includes a communication module, a request analysis module and an analytics module. The communication module receives a request including a unique video identifier (video ID), a video version identifier and event data. The event data describes a video level event and is associated with the video ID and the video version identifier. The request analysis module receives the request from the communication module. The request analysis module analyzes the request to determine if the request includes the event data. The analytics module is configured to determine values for metrics describing the video level event. Based at least in part on a determination by the request analysis module that the request includes event data, the analytics module receives the request from the request analysis module and analyzes the event data to determine a value for the metric.
