ART19 now measures podcast consumption delivered via HLS (HTTP Live Streaming) alongside traditional MP3 downloads. If your series is part of the Video Beta program, you'll see new metrics in your analytics that show how audiences consume your content through platforms like Apple Podcasts and Amazon Music.
HLS metrics are available in Series and Episode analytics. They are not yet available in Network or Ad Ops analytics.
ART19 Video is in beta. Features are still being built and may change, and you may come across the occasional rough edge. We welcome your feedback - see Submitting feedback.
