Abstract
Streaming media has truly become one of the most popular applications on the Internet. Viewers are spoiled for choice, and content providers compete to provide the best viewer experience. Traditionally, it has been challenging for content providers to get deep insights into the performance of their large-scale streaming operations. A new standard, Common Media Client Data (CMCD), aims to fundamentally change this. After providing an overview of this standard and describing some possible application scenarios, we present an open source sample implementation for readers to explore this topic further in their own practical environments.
