I couldn’t the custom media player tracking to work so I’m trying to post back to the server using the HTTP Tracking API with Media Analytics included but it’s not working as I’d expect.
When using the Media Analytics plugin, you can plainly see in the visitor’s log that media was played and for how long. When I post to the server using the HTTP Tracking API it gets recorded as a regular event with no media metadata.
Here are the query params I’m sending from my app

Here are the query params sent by the Media Analytics plugin using an html 5 video player (different user id on this one for testing).

I’ve tried copying the query params 1:1 but that doesn’t work either.
Here is what I’d expect this to look like (and what it looks like when using the regular plugin)
And here’s what it looks like when posting using the HTTP API
