Install VegaTracker for Shaka Player

Install the Shaka package

$
npm install @newrelic/video-shaka --save

Install device info

This step is optional. The device info library provides real device attributes — model, OS version, and UUID — in your video events. Without it, events use placeholder values for deviceModel and deviceUuid.

$
npm install @amazon-devices/react-native-device-info --save

Initialize VegaTracker

Initialize VegaTracker inside the onSurfaceViewCreated callback. This ensures the player's async attach is complete before initialization.

Pass your Shaka player instance and the info object. The info object must include your account ID, application token, and endpoint. If you installed the device info library, also pass device attributes as info.deviceInfo.

When playback ends, call tracker.dispose() to release resources.

For the initialization example, use the code snippet in the New Relic guided install.
