Buffer tracking constants

Constant name Description    
ADBMediaHeartbeatEventBufferStart Constant for tracking Buffer Start event
ADBMediaHeartbeatEventBufferComplete Constant for tracking Buffer Complete event

Implement buffering

  1. Listen for the playback buffering events from media player, and on buffer start event notification, track buffering using the BufferStart event:

    - (void)onBufferStart:(NSNotification *)notification {
        [_mediaHeartbeat trackEvent:ADBMediaHeartbeatEventBufferStart
                         mediaObject:nil
                         data:nil];
    }
    
  2. On buffer complete notification from the media player, track the end of buffering using the BufferComplete event:

    - (void)onBufferComplete:(NSNotification *)notification {
        [_mediaHeartbeat trackEvent:ADBMediaHeartbeatEventBufferComplete
                         mediaObject:nil
                         data:nil];
    }
