Installation Guide

Outbrain Plug-in Installation Requirements for Kaltura Players

Summary:

There are two components to the Outbrain plug-in

• Statistics: This plug-in collects and reports on video engagement data such as % of the video viewed (25,50,75 or 100%), number of in-line ads shown, average viewer length, etc. This piece helps us optimize and recommend videos (from both article pages and in-player).
• Recommendations: This plug-in uses the Outbrain algorithms to display recommended videos. It offers custom recommendations per-user, leveraging the visitor’s behavior, the video’s content and the engagement data from the statistic plug-in (above).

Plug-in Installation Instructions:

Player customization

• Log into the Kaltura Management Console and go to the Studio Tab
• Pick the player and choose ‘edit’ under ’select action’
• Add Plug-in information to the Player and Save

Under ‘Paste your plug-in line here:’ paste in the following:

&outbrainKalturaVideo.plugin=true&outbrainKalturaVideo.isDebug=false&outbrainKalturaVideo.relativeTo=PlayerHolder&outbrainKalturaVideo.path=http://widgets.outbrain.com/fl/outbrainKalturaVideo.swf&outbrainKalturaVideo.position=lastChild&outbrainKalturaVideo.idx=1&outbrainKalturaVideo.playerSrcId=PublisherVideoSource&outbrainKalturaVideo.width=100%&outbrainKalturaVideo.height=100%&outbrainKalturaVideo.widgetId=VP1&outbrainKalturaVideo.displayWidget=true&outbrainKalturaVideo.sendStats=true

(This is sample code; publishers will receive custom code from their Account Manager)

Each of the variables will be populated automatically in the “Key-value table” below.

Done! Test the player.

On-Page Requirements

The page itself must have an Outbrain Widget installed. This widget may be visible or invisible. It’s recommended to use a horizontal or vertical thumbnail widget in place of a ‘playlist’.
