JWPlayer for Roku and Analytics


Are there any instructions for integrating JWPlayer into a Roku app/channel? I am able to play video content I've uploaded to JWPlayer in my Roku channel using the video http URL... however I'm not seeing any analytics. Do I have to use an embedded link for each video to collect analytics?

Right now Roku functionality is limited. If you are merely referencing your content on our CDN you will not get analytics data populated in the JW Dashboard.

Could I get analytics data from my Roku channel if I configured Google Analytics since it will not be populated in the JW Dashboard?

I don't think so... I have a couple videos uploaded here for testing and my channel is pointing to the direct link - http URL under the video's "sources" tab. Should I add a player for each video?

Since you’re channel is pointing to a direct link and not a player, you would need to create your solution to send analytics data to GA.
