06.7 · Media & Downloads
Per-video milestone counts and completion rates, next to per-file download counts. One table answers "do people finish the video", the other "which asset earns its place".
Four KPIs (Video Starts, Video Completion Rate, Download Events, Download Session Rate), a Media events over time trend, the Video performance table, and the Download breakdown table.
| Metric / column | Definition |
|---|---|
| Video Starts | Times a video was started (fires on each play). |
| 25% / 50% / 75% / 90% | Sessions that watched at least that share of this video. |
| Completes / Completion % | A video counts as completed at the 90% milestone; the rate is completes divided by starts. |
| Download Events | Total file downloads. |
| File / Type | Downloads grouped per file, with the file extension. |
| Session Rate | % of all sessions in the window that started this video, or downloaded this file. |
The section respects the global filters, and both tables are clickable: select a video or a file to narrow the section; click again to clear.
Documented exception: the Video performance table shows full-window values when a global dimension filter is active, because its per-video data is not loaded client-side for regrouping. A caveat note appears above the table whenever that happens.
Downloads are automatic: links ending in .pdf, .csv, .xlsx, .zip, .mp4, and a dozen more fire a download event, and data-measr-download-name reports a friendly name instead of the raw path. Video is manual, because every player has its own events:
Measr.trackVideo(videoName, milestone, videoSeconds);
// milestone: '0%', '25%', '50%', '75%', '90%', '100%'
Ready-to-paste reference implementations for HTML5 <video>, the YouTube iframe API, and Vimeo Player.js are linked from tracking modules.
