How to get Visualization Statistics of a Asset in Azure Media Services v3

Question

Im working in a statitiscs video module in azure media services v3. The objective is to get some data like the visualizations of an asset or average time visualizated. I have seen there is an Application Insights plugin: https://github.com/azure-samples/media-services-javascript-azure-media-player-application-insights-plugin/tree/master/ but it seems to be very old and i dont know if its going to work. Im wondering how can i get the information mentioned before or if i can use the plugin linked before. If its useful, we are going to use the package Microsoft.Azure.Management.Media due to applications restrictions.

Thanks in advance!

Azure Media Services v3 provides a lot of features to manage and analyze your media assets. To get the visualization statistics of an asset, you can use the Azure Media Player Application Insights plugin. The plugin is available on GitHub and last I heard it still is considered functional. Traditionally if something becomes unsupported in Azure, we will remove the project files and I do not see any issues filed stating the plugin does not work. You can use the Microsoft.Azure.Management.Media package to manage your media assets.

To use the plugin, you need to follow these steps:

1. Add the plugin to your Azure Media Player instance.
2. Configure the plugin with your Application Insights instrumentation key.
3. Start tracking events in your player.

You can find more information about the plugin and how to use it in the GitHub repository.

If you want to use the Microsoft.Azure.Management.Media package, you can find more information about it in the following link.

I hope this information helps you. Let me know if you need anything else.
