# Monitor React native video Connect Mux Data to react-native-video to collect playback performance metrics. Use this guide when your React Native application plays video with the `react-native-video` component. ## In this guide: ### Features The features supported by Mux Data for this player. ### 1 Install Mux Data SDK Install `@mux/mux-data-react-native-video` either from the npm registry. ### 2 Initialize Mux Data Wrap your `Video` component with the `muxReactNativeVideo` so that Mux can collect playback metrics. ### 3 Make your data actionable Use metadata fields to make the data collected by Mux actionable and useful. ### 4 Set or update metadata after initialization If you do not have all the metadata available at initialization time update metadata fields later. ### 5 Advanced options Depending on the details of your implementation, you may want to leverage some of the advanced options of `@mux/mux-data-react-native-video`. ## Beta SDK This SDK is currently beta. See the [Known Issues](https://github.com/muxinc/mux-stats-sdk-react-native-video#known-issues) and [Caveats](https://github.com/muxinc/mux-stats-sdk-react-native-video#caveats) in the README on GitHub. ## Features The following data can be collected by the Mux Data SDK when you use the React Native Video SDK, as described below. Supported Features: - Engagement metrics - Quality of Experience Metrics - Available for deployment from a package manager Notes: Video Quality metrics are not available. ## 1 Install Mux Data SDK Include the Mux JavaScript SDK on every page of your web app that includes video. ``` ``` ## 2 Initialize Mux Data Get your `ENV_KEY` from the [Mux environments dashboard](https://dashboard.mux.com/environments). Env Key is different than your API token `ENV_KEY` is a client-side key used for Mux Data monitoring. These are not to be confused with API tokens which are created in the admin settings dashboard and meant to access the Mux API from a trusted server. Wrap your `Video` component with the `muxReactNativeVideo` higher-order-component. ``` ``` ## 3 Make your data actionable The required fields in the `muxOptions` that you pass into the `MuxVideo` component are `application_name`, `data.env_key` and `data.video_id`. However, without some metadata the metrics in your dashboard will lack the necessary information to take meaningful actions. Metadata allows you to search and filter on important fields in order to diagnose issues and optimize the playback experience for your end users. Pass in metadata under the `data` on initialization. ``` ``` For more information, view [Make your data actionable](/content/docs/guides/make-your-data-actionable-with-metadata/index.html). ## 4 Set or update metadata after initialization There are some cases where you may not have the full set of metadata until after the video playback has started. In this case, you should omit the values when you first initialize the Mux SDK. Then, once you have the metadata, you can update the metadata with the `updateData` method. ``` ``` ## 5 Advanced options ### Customize beacon collection domain If you have [integrated a custom domain for Data collection](/content/docs/guides/integrate-a-data-custom-domain/index.html), specify your custom domain by setting `beaconCollectionDomain`. ``` ``` ## Release notes ### Current release #### v0.19.21 - Update mux-embed to 5.18.2 ### Previous releases #### v0.19.20 - Set viewer_connection_type, viewer_connection_low_data_mode with new networkchange event - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.18.0 #### v0.19.19 - \[chore\] force upgrade of yarn to 4.12.0 - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.17.10 #### v0.19.18 - \[chore\] upgrade yarn version - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.17.9 #### v0.19.17 - \[chore\] publish mux-embed first, then the rest - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.17.8 #### v0.19.16 - fix workspace build issue - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.17.7 #### v0.19.15 - \[chore\] fix release pipeline - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.17.6 #### v0.19.14 - fix issue where playback_mode may not have appeared on all events - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.17.5 #### v0.19.13 - \[chore\] fix npm publish - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.17.4 #### v0.19.12 - \[chore\] fix deploy pipeline - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.17.3 #### v0.19.11 - \[chore\] update build process to github actions - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.17.2 #### v0.19.10 - fix issue where playing time might accumulate for paused players - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.17.1 #### v0.19.9 - add compatibility for dash.js 5 - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.17.0 #### v0.19.8 - Update parsing of initial value for player_playback_mode - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.16.1 #### v0.19.7 - Add Playback Range Tracker for new engagement metrics - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.16.0 #### v0.19.6 - Automatically detect playback mode changes for HTML 5 Video - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.15.0 #### v0.19.5 - Emit a renditionchange event at the start of views to enable updated rendition tracking. - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.14.0 #### v0.19.4 - Add ad type metadata to Ad Events - Add support for the upcoming Playback Mode changes: - Updated dependency: `mux-embed` to v5.13.0 #### v0.19.3 - SDKs will no longer immediately send error events that are flagged as warnings.
