1. A method comprising:
accessing a video generated by a publisher;
during a first time period:
for each video player in a first set of video players:
accessing a first set of playback data, generated by the video player, representing playback events occurring during playback of the video at the video player;
based on the first set of playback data, characterizing the playback as playback as one of user playback and crawler playback; and
in response to characterizing the playback as user playback, incorporating the first set of playback data in a set of user playback data;

based on the set of user playback data for the video, deriving a first error rate of a set of errors occurring during playback of the video at the first set of video players;
accessing a first historical error rate of the set of errors occurring during playback of the video;
calculating a first difference between the first error rate and the first historical error rate; and
in response to the first difference exceeding a first threshold difference:
generating an alert indicating the first error rate of the set of errors exceeding the first historical error rate deviation of the summary metric from the historical summary metric; and
transmitting the alert to the publisher.
