Discussion on: Broadcasting Interactive Web Based Gaming Live Streams with Amazon IVS

One way to show the live bitrate, latency and buffer in real time would be to use setInterval on the client and retrieve those values from the player itself:

setInterval(() => {
    document.getElementById('quality').innerHTML = ivsPlayer.getQuality().name;
    document.getElementById('bitrate').innerHTML = `${(ivsPlayer.getQuality().bitrate / 1000).toFixed()} kbps`;
    document.getElementById('latency').innerHTML = `${(ivsPlayer.getLiveLatency()).toFixed(2)}s`;
    document.getElementById('buffer').innerHTML = `${(ivsPlayer.getBufferDuration()).toFixed(2)}s`;
}, 1000);

I had no idea this was possible. Thank you very much!
