Summary

A new SDK has been released for integrating Mux Data with Shaka Player, an open-source web-based video player developed by Google that supports DASH and HLS video playback. Unlike other players that are wrappers around HLS.js and Dash.js, Shaka uses its own media stack without third party dependencies. The integration of Mux Data allows for detailed data about video performance, including an "Overall Score" metric, rich visualizations, and segmentation to diagnose issues. Additionally, a real-time dashboard is available for monitoring video views as they happen. Developers can sign up to try Mux Data and provide feedback on desired player integrations.
