In Bitmovin Analytics, for a given impression_id, why "played" > 0 for non-"playing" states?

I’m trying to differentiate between total played time, and the played time just when the state is in “playing”. Why does “played” have a value greater than 0 for other states too?

Ex result:
|impression_id|played|state|
|583aa01d-5875-441e-8181-1db8ba627c97|1|qualitychange|
|583aa01d-5875-441e-8181-1db8ba627c97|1|pause|

Hi, thanks for this question.

This is probably due to a miss collection of the collector you are using.
I checked how big is the impact on your dataset and i can see that this edge case applies to 0.0005% of your total played time.

Anyways this should not be the case so we have filed an issue to look at this.

Hope this answers your question.
